Question to all of you: is it possible to use own tracks to monitor on a mobile phone and cache the location there and only once a month, you boot the server that own tracks is connected to (and it syncs then)?

What has stopped me so far: The gigantic docker compose stack that I have to spawn.

It would also be nice to have a demo button on your website that allows opening a read-only demo version of dawarich.

No, it is not the same thing. A downvote is disapproval, an upvote is approval, and no vote is neutral.

I find it interesting that you see my “downvote = negativity” as an interpretation problem, but that you don’t see that what you just wrote is your interpretation of the buttons. At no place in any Lemmy documentation and not anywhere in any Lemmy app or web app is written what you just wrote. It’s your interpration of the meaning of the buttons.

For me:

• Upvote can be approval or even a something I disagree with, but is well argued or I want to see more of it
• Clicking nothing means “I don’t care”
• Downvotes are disabled by my instance, which is good. I can’t see downvotes and can’t give them.
• Comments allow me to disagree and share my arguments why I disaggree (as I do now).
• And if something is so bad that it should be gone, there is still the possibility to report a post or comment

The only way to have the same outcome than a downvote with only upvotes is to upvote every single other comment

But why is that even necessary? Why are you even wasting your energy to click that button? If it’s really bad, one can report it. If it’s not worth to report, one can leave it and focus on other stuff. I seriously don’t understand it. My only explanation is “doing it like that because we have always done it that way” and this is why I totally understand why most big platforms removed such a downvote feature.

If you are downvoted more than upvoted, then you know your opinion is unpopular. Doesn’t meant it’s bad or good.

Not even unpopular in general… Unpopular in a specific bubble at a specific time. But I agree. Combined with a karma system, it’d unfortunately by a toxic combination… (Reddit)

For instance, I neither downvoted nor upvoted your comment, because I consider it a valuable part of the conversation, but I still don’t approve it.

That confuses me now, because it feels like the point I’m trying to make.

For instance, I downvoted this comment because I think it’s a poor generalization and I’d rather have better thought out comments promoted

You could achieve that by up voting the others that are better and not down voting anything. Causes useless negativity, which is the reason why many big platform removed it or never introduced it. At least, you gave a comment and explained your view. That’s usually what I do instead of down voting.

Yes. Mine, too. I can’t give or see down votes.

But you don’t usually need down votes. If it’s terribly bad, report it… If not, ignore it…

And if you come from Reddit where people can’t ignore a comment with a different opinion and have to down vote it, please don’t do that here. We don’t need that negativity.

The main problem is that people give down votes for other opinions. They can’t go to the next post or comment without pressing the negativity button. Their ego is fragile.

But I agree with your comment.

A number that always works is 28 by the way…

2026 - 28 = 1998 2026 + 28 = 2054

Noobs, just buy the calendar after the year it represents is over, simply wait 27 years and voilá, you have a calendar that shows the correct days, days of the week, etc.

Or you create a post on your blog and post the hyperlink to it on Lemmy and maybe some other platforms. Pretty much what I have done here, except that it is not my blog in this case.

And whoever likes you website can decide to follow you on Lemmy or some other platform or to subscribe to your RSS/ATOM feed.

Good that we don’t have karma here…

Even here, the guy you’re responding to is getting down voted to oblivion (for Lemmy anyways) for an opinion that I have echoed elsewhere and gotten the opposite response.

I’m on a Lemmy instance that has downvotes disabled. I can only see that the person I replied to has 3 upvotes and that me previous comment has 2. I don’t even see the negativity on Lemmy.

My experience was that every sub reddit itself was an echo chamber.

Not having the majority opinion of the subreddit meant getting negative scores because of downvoters, which lead to deleted posts because of that stupid karma system.

But yeah, suggesting a permanent solution for both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict on Lemmy by criticizing BOTH sides doesn’t get you sympathy points here either.

I mean… When friends or people at my work place plan a party and want to organize who brings what, they share an MSOffice or Google Calc link around, which allows you to enter stuff and see in real time what the others enter.

That would be nice to do with LibreOffice instead.

What’s the default?

I don’t know, to be honest. I have never hosted Piped.

Seem to have very similar features.

Invidious for YouTube without ads

So, we somehow need to connect Lagos with Africa to make it longer…

Maybe, it’s not clear:

1. What you see in the image are the upvotes and downvotes I gave, not the ones I received.
2. I’m on a Lemmy instance that does not have downvotes enabled at all. I can’t even downvote anything and if others click the downvote button on my posts/comments, nothing happens at all as far as I know. Maybe, their app shows that it worked, but I don’t think, anything happens.

I mean… You have the options to upvote, to down vote and to not click a button. I haven’t seen 742 posts that were so terrible that I had to decide to down vote them.

Down voting other opinions just because they do not match mine brings useless negativity. I don’t think, we need that on Lemmy.
