What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use? (strawpoll.com)

I was wondering, with all the different Lemmy clients and frontends, what/which out of these do people actually use? To answer this, I made a poll if anyone wants to fill it out, and I tried to put every client I could find.

I heard a rumor you can look at the usernames who dislike a post or comment on a specific app. This is what I want: help taking the trash out.

I disliked your comment. What're you going to do, hunt me down?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How dare you. Now I'm going to remember your username. I will hunt down your IRL identity, and ... send you sugar free gummy bears in the mail.

Seriously, though, haven't you looked at a comment with up or downvotes and thought to yourself, "If I block every idiot that did that, my timeline would be a little less stupid"?

Your timeline would almost certainly be a little less stupid if you did that with gusto, but people who've disagreed with you can also post things beneficial to you or post insights you hadn't thought of or post advice you'd find useful. I was a heavy RES tagger on reddit and I'd often come across well-meaning or useful posts and comments from people who'd been marked for saying jawdroppingly stupid shit about some other subject.

Yes, it is a power that should be used responsibly. Just as one shouldn't block every stupid commenter, only the egregious ones, the likes and dislikes should be saved pretty much for the bigots outing themselves.
