      Paywalled.

      On a different subject, why would someone downvote a one-word comment that accurately describes what the content is behind?

        Because some of us have fat fingers and accidentally downvote when we scroll on mobile.

        One of the things I liked about reddit was that, since it saved downvoted posts, I could go through the list every once in a while and undownvote the accidents.

        Can’t do that here though, and I sometimes notice posts or comments I’ve accidentally downvoted.

        Anyway, people shouldn’t care so much, we don’t have a karma system or the like here anyways, so why does it matter?

          Well, only speaking for myself, I don’t care, it just seemed so weird since it was an accurate single word, so I was curious.

          I also wonder sometimes if it’s a bot system purposely trying to force engagement.

          Lol trust me, I get downvotes all the time for things I say here on Lemmy. If I let them bother me I’d be in the psychiatric system by now.

        I have the theory that archive.is, waybackmachine and 12ft.io are no secret anymore, and that just posting “paywalled” comes across as too lazy to copy/paste or (a lot easier) to use this addon to reduce the work to a click. i dont mind, but i can understand why others might see it that way

          Blaming the victim, and justifying paywalls.

          or (a lot easier) to use this addon to reduce the work to a click.

          My phone browser doesn’t use add-ons.

          i dont mind

          And yet, you took the time out to reply, to chastise me for saying it.
