If you call them PanoPods you can probably get venture capital funding and then just go buy a train and paint it with a cool design.

Maybe there should be four buttons:
- Upvote-good comment
- Upvote-agree
- Downvote-disagree
- Downvote-unhelpful/rude
Which could be used for more filtering options.
Or maybe a separate agreement/disagree metric. I wouldn't mind seeing the consensus on a topic separate from the measure of usefulness.
It's just that it's boring. I'd rather have an interesting debate. Downvoting everything you simply disagree with just leads to groupthink forums.
And then getting downvoted by people who just disagree with your opinion. I'm one of the Reddit refugees so I don't know if we brought that with us or Lemmy was like that before but it's sad to see.
No. They're not interested in playing fair or being consistent. They'll simply warp the rules to fit their outcome and declare these posters noncomplaint. You can't out-maneuver people who simply cheat.
The assholes on that side of things are a mixture of those who actually believe and want the US to be a religious state, and those who simply are using religion as a method of control. That second group is happy to see religious conflict because a) it distracts from real problems while they consolidate money and power, 2) they can use the fervor to further solidify their support form that religious base.
This is absolutely not new and has happened before in history. It's just sad to see the US going down this path.
You're not supposed to watch it sober.
Much as I like Avery Brooks, he never got a handle on the Sisko character until he shaved and went back to being Hawk but with a son. They should have let him do that from the beginning.
