But it influences the community itself, doesn't it? If you have a bunch of parrots saying what they think others want to hear suddenly you have a lot less real interactions and way more "reddit moments"... I like how mastodon did it and maybe lemmy should also provide the option to hide likes/dislikes alltogether.
And the window of correct opinion keeps getting narrower. Any time there's a chance to gatekeep morality, someone out there wants to prove they're the most .
On any of the popular subs, no one's going to read your comment in good faith. They'll see what they wanted you to say and just reply to that.
That is a great point. I definitely don’t enjoy the “hive mind.”
