I sort of feel that way. I don’t think I’m losing skill so much as not wanting to spend more than 3 minutes thinking about a problem.

We’ll need a critical mass of well distributed nerds to make this happen.

How does that work here anyway? Is there a FAQ or something to explain? Do downvoted comments get hidden or pushed down?

But it’s not usually the people running the platform doing that. You can also find instances that go full on 4chan style freeze peach and only delete explicitly illegal stuff, but most of those are probably defederated from the big instances by now.
