Yeah, I'm definitely on the fence about it. I agree about the bad faith participation with downvote brigading, but I also feel that having downvotes is, overall, a good way to gauge community agreement.

I think what I would like the most is a visible upvote/downvote percentage ratio. That way you could see not only the net upvotes - downvotes like on reddit, but the actual participation by the community.

My current split is an arms day 2x a week and a body/legs day 2x a week.

For arms I'm doing a mix of: pullups, crunches, inclined dumbbell, reverse pulley curl, lateral raises, reverse tricep cable pull, and rows. I do maybe 5-6 of these exercises each session. For body/legs I'm doing: benchpress, deadlift, squat, military press. For everything right now I'm shooting for 5x5. I'm still new to working out, only since January, but I'm mainly trying to grow arms (primarily biceps and shoulders) and all of my body/legs. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do or change?

One thing that I think would be interesting would be a small change to the upvote downvote system. Instead of just showing the total upvote -downvote, you could instead have a percentage, say as a pie chart. That way a user could visually see how agreeable/disagreeable a controversial topic is, instead of just + and - karma.

I definitely think that Lemmy has potential. Now that it's attracting tons of new users, it will only take a few coats of polish to make it easily accessible for the average person.

Oh okay, sounds neat. I've never really been that into Discord, unfortunately. I'd like to use Peertube more too, but it seems pretty empty rn, and idk anything about making videos!

I know peertube, but what is matrix?

Same here. I never used twitter, but joined Mastodon and have enjoyed it. I’ll use lemmy and expect (hope!) that it will get polished and streamlined enough to take over Reddit
