    i feel like gamification will become more pronounced as more applications allow for more expression of the full AP protocol.

    i think youre wrong about fediverse implementation. lemmy is already pushing for downvotes everywhere, the 'bins expose ‘reputation points’. gamification is somewhat inevitable as its a part of human nature, and seems to already be happening with or without ‘commercial social media’

    i agree with the relaxed feeling but i havent used those commercial sites (cept reddit) in decades, i cant really relate. the verse feels very early reddit-y to me, which is what i wanted.

    … no ads, just people and links and nonsense, hooray!

      The only instances I’m familiar with that disable downvotes are Hexbear and Beehaw, which are hives of scum and villainy
