if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don’t engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.

Disagree. You should politely state why you disagree. Engagement is good for newer websites like lemmy and you don’t need to be rude or combative to disagree. One of my issues with reddit is when people would get downvoted for making a fair point or observation.

You can run a Friendica instance and act like you invented it. My family was impressed when I “made my own Netflix” with a Plex server lol.

True but it’s something that can easily be done in xorg because it has almost 20 years worth of tools created for it.

I didn’t have an opinion on this until I tried to disable right click on a ubuntu machine with Wayland. It needs an xmodmap style tool.
