LOL OK

Would like to have known your questions, though. All I have is your edit.

I wrote a blog article about this a while back with references to what this meme is actually quoting.

Also, the point isn’t whether people want to work or not, but rather that the moral panic keeps coming up.

Thank you for reminding me. 😛 I’m camping this weekend.

It’s something that can be configured, at least at the server level, which is cool.

I’m running my own personal instance, and I’m keeping downvotes enabled. It’s something that I’d really like to see, personally, but I have absolutely no judgement or concern for instances that choose to disable downvoting.

I do wonder if that’s something that can be managed at the community level, though. I can definitely imagine some communities opting to disable downvoting, if their server admin(s) allowed it.

This method here will work.

• On this post, do you see the little rainbow Fediverse icon? Click on that. You’re now looking at the original post on the server from which it originated. The post on lemmy.pethchat.org was federated to that server from lemmy.world where the post originated.
• Go to the search tool on your Lemmy server, and put that lemmy.world URL in there.
• The post will show up, and you can interact with it as it appears on your Lemmy instance.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.

I ended up deciding to roll my own, which I realize isn’t realistic for a lot of folks, but I would suggest lemmy.world, if you haven’t already. There’s also this list here that might be helpful.

Good luck!
