Was trying to show one of my students some code on Stack Overflow a little while back to help them figure something out, and they caught hung up looking over the code in the question, and I was like "No, don't look at the code from the question! It's wrong, that's why they're asking about it! Just look at the top answer!"

You know, my favorite thing about Lemmy showing both upvotes and downvotes is that not only do we see that a lot of people disagree with you, but more specifically that, since you're the only one upvoting yourself, literally everyone else can tell that you're wrong.
You know it's not that hard to just admit that you were wrong. It was an easy mistake to make, so just admit it and move on. Realize that you can learn and improve. Doubling down just to make yourself seem more like an idiot is never the answer. Everyone is capable of being stupid and making mistakes, but it's the real idiots who are incapable of learning from them.

Ah, so I see English isn't your first language?
Nah, I get up at like 5 am just so I can waste even more time on my computer doing nothing.
You have failed me for the last time, you piece of shit.
Yeah, for sure. I'm not sure I really mind that, though. It's also not super crazy to get a basic handle on, so if it becomes popular enough, more people will be willing to try to figure it out. I also imagine that the developers working on it will try to find more intuitive ways for users to get started.
I don't really care too much about the mainstream coming here, though. Part of the appeal of the Fediverse, I feel, is that it's got that kind of "underground" vibe to it. We are out of the mainstream, but there are still people around, discussion is happening, content is being created. It has a fresh and unique feel to it.
I do like Lemons better than Lemmings. This is the way.
Where does this fit in on the spectrum?

This is a great idea! Hopefully it pans out.
Lol that you think the majority of conservatives don't think trans people should live. I mean, the ultra-right fascist conservatives, sure, but most conservatives just don't agree with people doing certain things. They aren't about to taking a flamethrower to every member of the LGBT community they come across. Have you ever even had a face-to-face conversation with someone you disagree with in real life?
