Or does it only count upvote only?

I searched lemmy and can't find the answer. Lemmy documentation also didn't specify.

Edit: Sorry didn't really wanna make a whole post about it, but like my curiosity can't stand not knowing every detail of Lemmy. I want to know this so I know how to sort Lemmy better

Follow up Question: Which sorting method do y'all think is the best?

I mean, I read news articles that say the TSA fail to actually catch prohibited items like weapons or drugs most of the time... so what's the point? Many people are calling this "Security Theater"... Does this "Security Theater" actually scare away a would-be terrorist?

[Edit: New Moderation Team has since been installed by Reddit]

I mean, I totally get it. People keep posting (according the the mod) stuff like "DRONES ARE SPYING ON ME", of course, who'd want to moderate that shit? I'm glad the user decided to quit, and not have to babysit weirdos spamming conspiracy theories. (Its unpaid anyways, why even do it if the conspiracy-therory-filled community doesn't appreciate it)

Welp, that's a subreddit shutdown I haven't seen for a while. Good luck to whoever is next to deal with weird conspiracy shit.

Warning: angry rant below

So I lost lost the Username and Passwords to all my 3 credit bureau accounts, and also the email account, this appened like earlier this year, (or maybe last year not sure... anyways...). I didn't bother resetting at the time since I didn't need to get a credit card or loan or anything.

But today I decided to reset those accounts to check my credit. So I started with calling Experian to try to reset the account. So right away, I'm already mildly annoud that a fucking automated voice Bot took the call and then on top of that, they fucking played a fake "keyboard typing" sound to mimic a human typing on a keyboard after every response 🤦‍♂️, like yo I know its a bot, stop with this BS. So it asks what I need help with, "accessing account", okay it asks for SSN and zip code, okay gave that, then this bot just sent a reset to my email, WHICH I DONT HAVE ACCESS TO!!!, okay no problem, I'll just talk to a person, "talk to a representative", okay this is the most infuriating part, bot says "I'M SORRY, I'M ONLY ABLE TO DO THAT IN LIMITED CIRCUMATANCES" (paraphrased, I don't remember the exact wording)... excuse me what the fuck, this audacity of this fucking bot, I say it again, but the only 2 options are "continue" with the automatic self-help system, or "end call"... MOTHERF****R 🤬🤬🤬

Jesus Fucking Christ, who gave these stupid "Credit Bureaus" their authority?

I see a future of:

"Hello 911, please send an ambulance, I'm dying."

Bot: "Sorry, not blood detected, unable to dispatch an ambulance"

dude was having a heart attack, of course no blood was detected

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but I just wanna kinda rant a bit.

I'm not the only one that hates this, right?

An app can just do a "This App Does Not Allow Screenshots"? Like... wtf?

Like, its my phone, and some app can just decide to disable a fuction of my phone. It's my phone and if I wanna take a screenshot, I'm taking a screenshot. I don't care about whatever "security" the app developer wants.

Imagine if every online shopping app whether fast food or amazon, just used this to block you from taking a screenshot so you can't save the records in case of a dispute.

Which android developer thought it was a good idea to let an app disable a function on your phone. Even iPhone doesn't have this stupid concept.

Sorry for the rant.

Anyone wanna share your stories?

(P.S. I have a cheap secondary phone to take photos of the screen. "This App Does Not Allow Screenshots" my ass lmao, I'm taking the screenshot whether the app wants it or not.

This implies that all electronic communications are insecure.

I'm NOT the parent in question. Just a FYI.

And by mental capacity, I mean like not just IQ, but also other mental conditions like depression, ADD/ADHD, etc...

Like the child(ren) has not done anything wrong like crime or misbehave, but simply the parent thinking that giving an inhertance to (in their view) a "mentally disabled" child is a waste and "would just end up in the hands of government". And they justify it since they think that "the kid can just get disability income anyways". (Location is USA, for reference)

I personally think this is just very ableist... what do you think? Is it okay for parents to do that?

(Has anyone posted this yet?)

Obligatory: I didn't create this, I #yaRRR'ed 🏴‍☠️ it from the other site

I've seen at least 2 post today where a front page post has many normal looking comments, but their username was [deleted] Doesn't seem normal, any theories on whats going on?

Is my browser bugged?

Only one time use.

Think of like world leaders, celebrities, ya know 😉. Are you gonna make them do some embarassing things, or illegal acts.

My answer:

I mean like people like parents/siblings/spouses/significant others/kids/roomates/housemates...

I mean, I have paranoia about other things too (such as germaphobia/mysophobia), but specifically on this issue of people snooping, is amongst one of my top fears, and I'm just curious if other have this similar fear/paranoia.

Like every time I wake up, I wonder if my parents or brother put some malware/spyware on my phone because they think its a funny prank or whatever.

Every time I enter my PIN for my phone, I always cover the screen before entering it in case my parents have cameras in the house. And even more so in public, I'd fear CCTV getting my PIN.

[No, I have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia, I don't hallucinate or anything like that. (But I do have a diagnosis of depression.)]

[This is distinct from the common fears of government surveillance or whatever. That, strangely enough, I fear much less, since I'm just one in hundreds of millions of people that they would care about, so I'm not so worried about that.]

I mean, imagine a future where every computer is just a chromebook, phones are no longer phones but just a "terminal" that streams the actual OS which runs in the cloud.

I mean, with 5G, I think its possible to make it seamless. And I think corporations push for this because they would love to have your data in the cloud, both for surveillance, and to charge a subscription for storage. I think this enshittifications would eventually happen to digital storage.

"You would own nothing and you'd be happy"

So how likely will this dystopian future happen?

I'd predict a 90% chance of this happening, and almost everyone would be okay at first, until they start overcharging for cloud storage subscriptions, but by then it'd be too late, there'd be a monopoly.
