Are You Helping to Propagate BS?


Do Not Propagate BS


It always amazes me when I watch people vehemently oppose a post they disagree with. Even when they do not know the poster or anyone on the post. I do not think they truly understand what they are doing. They are making that post they disagree with more popular and ensuring (or at least contributing to the assurance) that it will have a wider propagation across the Fedi.


Priority of what gets most rapidly spread across the Fedi is governed by several metrics and it is not standardized between the different Instance types either. Though one critical metric will always speed a post across the Fedi and that is reactions. The more reactions a post has the quicker it will propagate. It does not matter if that is positive or negative reactions. It only matters that post got attention. Make no mistake, a comment is considered a reaction. Even if you do not click a Thumbs up or Thumbs down you are reacting by commenting.


So if you are tired of seeing posts you find ridiculous maybe you should start ignoring them instead of boosting them by reacting to them.

I will adjust to bad we can't use light and dark mode colors.

Yes, but there will still be issues between light and dark mode. Cyan will be Cyan whether I use the name or hex value.

...except that the color I used was DARK cyan. As long has you have no red and equal parts blue and green, you have cyan.

@Radio Free Trumpistan

Okay, that is good. I would still just have to test and see what looked good on both dark and light and I will probably just stop using color for a while due to that. It is just more fuss than it is worth really. I had not even really considered that others would be using a light theme 😉.

I had no idea. I am not a painter or artist of that nature. I will have to remember to consult you when I need advice on such things. 😀

The option is not in the posting frame. You use BBcode. I have Markdown & Mathjax addons enabled too but you have to enable that in your settings to use it.
