They’re doing this to boost consumption. It’s to condition you to care about your score and want to up your score next year, to compete with your friends and family to see who has the highest score.
Just like how on Hexbear you’re being conditioned to post the type of stuff that repeatedly gets you more comments/upbears. When is the Annual hexbear rewind coming?
I’m not sure if just removing the button solves the issue, people who depend on it would just go somewhere else and then you lose someone who potentially could have been deprogrammed.
Like I can see how removing downvotes is a good idea and it’s already done here, because the last thing we need is to encourage dogpiling, but if we can educate people to use the upbear for a force for good it could serve a positive impact.
It means it will sometimes serve popular interests rather than socialist interests, but I don’t think there’s any easy solution, only education.
Even the LIDL store application has a rewind now.

I’d honestly be fine with removing upvotes on Hexbear altogether. Too many people just have the mindset of more upvotes = correct anyway.
I need the validation dopamine upvotes give >:(

Retvrn to PHPBB.
Lemmy unironically has a frontend for that. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to set one up for Hexbear
It’s been archived.

Yeah it would need to be updated for 1.0 I think. You can use the newest comment sort to replicate the way a phpbb sorts posts.
Return to Usenet.

At first I thought this was a reference to PPB
PHPPBB
the extra P is for
PPBB
Ratio /JK
But how would the algorithm work without upvotes?
You can turn votes and scores off in your settings. I like them because I enjoy how they function for sorting stuff.
This is why I’m actually the best poster, because I actively recoil at receiving upbears
(laughing diabolically as I go through your profile upbearing every one of your posts)
If I wrote a script to run a Hexbear rewind would anyone use it?
