None of these are hot takes lol.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago (3 children)

ayo did you remove your own vote how are you at zero.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe they're just not very confident about their posts.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes. I think it is a conflict of interest to upvote my own post. Of course I think I contribute to the conversation, but that is not for me to decide.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

Everybody’s vote total is defaulted to 1. Nobody upvotes themselves. Removing your vote just makes it less likely people will see your comment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You downvote the default score in order not to do something you never did?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I remove the upvote, not downvote.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everyone's posts are upvoted by themselves by default, so by retiring your upvotes from your posts, you are, in practice, removing visibility from your posts, thus handicapping them, rather than giving them a fair shot.

I rely on the Gs who sort by new.

Lemmy doesn't auto vote for your own comment/post. We aren't that narcistic here. Every comment starts at 0.

I can see on Kbin who upvoted even, and you didn't upvote your comment.

Edit: I've learned it varies by your portal!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy does, Kbin doesn't. Lemmy also gives your Kbin comments an upvote. On Kbin you can't see the auto upvote or any downvotes IIRC.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Every Lemmy app I've used on Android auto-up-votes one's own posts and comments. Mainly been using Sync and Voyager.

I haven't seen an easy way in them to see who did the votes, but I do assume that's available info to some clients.

How are we to know you didn't just upvote yourself after posting?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, at least online these are all very common opinions. I think the pineapple on pizza opinion is actually the most controversial take he listed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Pineapple on pizza is just people with different tastes. Everyone has their favorite foods and what they dont like...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Slightly hotter, but still quite tame take:

Ham is the problem with Hawaiian pizza. Pineapple is innocent.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? Ham is like the 2nd best pizza topping after only pepperoni.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The ham used on pizzas around here (northeast US), usually isn't salty enough to work on a Hawaiian pizza. It's often deli ham, which runs the risk of being sweet, but otherwise flavorless.

Bacon or pepperoni work better. Jalapeno also helps.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Gorgonzola works even better with pineapple, than bacon, prosciutto, or pepperoni

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah, so your objection is only with pineapple. See, I don't do pineapple on pizza not because I think it's unholy, but simply because I don't like pineapple in general. I thought you just objected to ham on pizza on principle; I can't speak to it as a companion for pineapple.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It's hard to see where I'd choose it over another topping, but I imagine with most pizzas I don't really care about ham's failings.

Pineapple and anchovies might be the two stanard toppings that are really build-arounds. Most other standard pizza toppings seem closer to "do whatever, it'll be fine"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Parma ham and Parmigiano pizza is awesome

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That does sound great! Ham isn't necessarily a bad ingredient, it's just unusually difficult to tell if it'll be good or it'll suit your tastes, especially with more inexpensive kinds.

I feel about Pizza the way I feel about burgers, put anything you want on there, I'll try it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Right. And don't topping-shame, bro!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've had a burger with pineapple on it. It was delicious

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

These takes are colder than my dead mother.
