I lost interest enough to delete the models I had before and this headline made me look into deepseek.

EDIT: Not quite the Streisand Effect considering I already knew about it, but still an unintended source of pressure. Like someone stockpiling before a ban of something, even if they weren’t too avid about it before. I’ve had a similar thought when it comes to taking down free streaming sites.

Though this seems to have traded compute for data, so I don’t have the VRAM for it… even running through RAM, I don’t feel like downloading a lesser version with my slow-ish internet.

I only see them when they are negative

I got downvoted for a comment recently*. My instance has up/down on by default and to me that somewhat softened the blow… to see that it wasn’t all downvotes but roughly a 1:2 (up:down) ratio.

EDIT: Also, you could of course have total+upvotes (or upvote %) if you wish, though I guess that doesn’t work for posts which are mostly just the total (if set, upvote % only displays on hover)

*= in a very “why are you booing me? I’m right.” moment, my 2 explanation replies were not, yet did not seem to change future votes (though maybe that was not the reason in the first place)

I mean, can you really fault someone for not engaging frequently if they are browsing? Especially when it comes to posts, not everyone has a reason to post. The stuff I’d post is niche so thinking about the best place is tedious and previous attempts have been disappointing.

I’ll block content/communities that I don’t care anything about, but I’d rather not block users. I don’t want to block interaction with someone just because I disliked one aspect of what they post/comment. I mean if you have that moment multiple times with someone (or if it’s really bad), understandable.

The case: to me, a downvote is for something not worth a reply. Something I think is not beneficial (or has a context issue) that will likely not be changed with a response. Particularly if it seems in bad faith/taste (especially one I’ve seen before).

The opposite is also true, If it is worth a reply it probably isn’t worth a downvote.

Though I also think about votes within their context, where I think the number should be. Which means I may refrain or even retract a downvote, given how others vote. Similarly I may upvote something I otherwise wouldn’t.

It was too slow for an edit, but this is the older version screenshot (note:Imgur only loads links for me with a private window)

One small benefit of the current layout is that I can see both edges of a rolled-up window (when focused).

I would definitely try more things if I had more control. Big text would be nice with content overlap (or outside window+outlined+noBG?), inset controls especially if dynamic. Maybe even different placements of title or buttons.

Fair, I have no idea if there’s much interest.

For difficulty, I would make wider+more spaced buttons if dynamic sizing were a thing (without it, small windows would have shorter titles when focused).

If you mean visually, yeah not many pixels and with this layout I cannot put a background behind the window buttons without it spanning to the title. The previous version has it but was right-justified, so cannot have the buttons disappear without the title shifting (the shown version allows longer titles when unfocused).
