  • Im genuinely terrified. Im one of the organizers at my uni’s pride group, and we’ve already seen an increase of hate on campus last year (including some people entering our own space and harassing a member). One of the gender studies classes at my school already had to move online this past term due to threats.

    Seeing this happen at a fellow canadian university, makes me terrified that we will have a violent hate crime attack on our campus. Its terrifying. Just, trying to remain strong for our community.











  • Yeah I think avoiding downvoting I prefer. Im not sure how it works entirely, but the fact that outside people can’t just come here and downvote is actually very appreciated. I know for smaller hobby-type posts, in places like Reddit, seeing downvotes can be very demoralizing for continuing with the hobby, so not having that risk is kinda nice. What would be useful is if Lemmy had some way to allow communities to set if downvotes are allowed or not, but I dont think it does. I rather until Lemmy provides that feature, for this server to not allow downvotes overall.
