It’s very nice to see that X people liked a post/comment and Y people disliked it instead of just having a singular “goodness/badness” rating. It (literally, in a mathematical sense) adds a whole new dimension to post ratings and gives us a more nuanced understanding of people’s opinions. Plus, it feels a lot better to see that 5 people agreed with you and 7 disagreed when you made a controversial statement instead of just seeing a score of -1 telling you how bad you are.

    Voyager. I’ve tried a couple others but keep coming back to it.

    Yeah with the cost of Sync. I don’t think it’s right. This isn’t Reddit. I’ve donated money to support a local instance and I’ll donate to Voyager as well. I’m for supporting developers. But this is an ad free platform, so it feels wrong to pay so much for an app that adds ads to it.

      Yeah I agree. Creating a problem and taking “donations” to solve it is a bit sketchy especially when the instances themselves could use that funding. And when the whole idea of the platform is the other direction.
