That’s why I’m so pleased that Liftoff! only shows the aggregate number. It’s so much calmer here when you don’t even notice that some proportion of people here are mashing that stupid downvote button.

If it’s innocently irrelevant I either ignore it or reply “I don’t get it”. Either the commenter realised they replied in the wrong place or you get a fascinating insight into the thought processes that made it seem worth their time typing out.
Oh right, the spam bots infested the place. I think it’s inevitable that if this place gets popular enough it’s going to suffer many of the same issues as Reddit. It’s not about the tech it’s about the people and people never change.
Even bots should have the error of their ways explained to them (or rather their handlers). If they don’t listen and learn then it’s time for the mods to drop the ban-hammer.
Especially the pointless cynicism of a “Didn’t happen” reply. My single most powerful change to make Twitter a less toxic place (ho, ho) when I used it was to block @DHOTYA_ and related keywords and anyone who used them.
Downvotes. If the post/comment is inappopriate, report it. If you disagree strongly with the point reply. If you don’t just move on with your day.
You forgot: uses dark mode.
So sad that everyone’s talking about the phone calls rather than asking if Gail’s okay.
