  • I know how you feel. I often find myself typing :w into notepad/word at work to save something. Or when I log into a machine that doesn’t have the vim extension in vscode I constantly type /something to search, only to realize that I actually wrote that in the file. Then using ‘u’ to undo just adds more characters and people look at me like I’m on some drugs. Just embrace it!

    :wq




  • I actually like the idea of being able to see how many upvotes/downvotes came from specific instances much more than seeing the actual users. It would cover some of the positives mentioned in the github discussion:

    -Could help fight bot and multiple-account voting (if we assume that people who make multiple accounts do it on the same instance)
    -Could help identify voting-patterns from specific servers (obviously)

    And then if something looks suspicious, the admins can already see who voted, so they could check out whether some user is abusing the mechanics.

    I find that this approach might be worth talking about, but making user votes visible to all seems very unnecessary.
