Oh man... you're basically speaking directly to why I made our small community (consider this a personal invite). As I said elsewhere, I find Lemmy actively hostile.
The number of indignant replies and comment-free downvotes we get inundated with continually is… disheartening.
People want content, but actively detract from any content that doesn’t explicitly cater to them. It’s hard to take.
As someone who started and is extremely active in a small community, I find Lemmy actively hostile to the point where I'm considering closing up after less than a month.

As someone who runs a community, the ability to disable downvotes and have more customization within that Community would help a great deal.
I also wouldn't mind the ability to post something like a Delta on a comment to show a changed view or something.
There would be no way for them to gain that knowledge. I could believe that they potentially lost their primary language and spoke a mild amount of other languages that they had picked up by osmosis...
But I am doubtful that they would be able to have a full conversation with a native speaker.
There's no way the human brain could just conjure up a fully functioning secondary language that the person had no exposure to.

And yes, it does make me feel better.
I like this! Would I be able to bother you to post this to https://lemmy.ca/c/actual_discussion
I feel it would be a really worthwhile topic to dig into and you've articulated it well!
I liked With Teeth, but it's a pretty far cry from The Fragile (or even TDS).
This is exactly what I was coming here to comment. This album was fucking astounding, complex, beautiful, intense, musical, destructive... Every single noise in that album was intentional and meant something. Trent was making music at the time that was so far above and beyond what anybody else was doing or has done since.
Then Atticus Ross joined. Now they make background music for movies. It is fucking heartbreaking.
Now I'm confused... What do YOU call a normal North American muffin?
Like a blueberry bran one or something.
Ah yes, nothing like a nice rum and water.
Anon forgot to add the Soulslike rip off.

We frequently get one-time posters coming in and flaming (or downvoting without reading) on any thread that may not agree with them, then when challenged with sources, they vanish. It's brutal. I wish we could disable certain behaviours on our instance or in the Community itself.
