Be me.
Wanted to use the mastodon app instead of browser.
Sign up, everything smooth.
Later: Read Lemmy.
See a mastodon link.
Disagree with post, post my critique.
Want to see how my post is rendered.
Post list can’t be sorted and has a weird order.
Scroll and realize that the majority is in agreement.
Post list so long, no way anyone can be expected to read up upon for context.
Feels like random thoughts dumping: Fire and Forget.
Is this how such platforms work? The author prompts something and random people interact with eachother - without a consens at the end of the post? Or am I missing something?
Some instances choose to disable downvotes. If you downvote a comment that originates from one of those instances, it will have no effect outside of your home instance.
It is already hard to discover appropriate instances to pick from but didn’t spot any aggregator which prompts this instance property. If you can aid this I may reconsider using mastodon!
