I'm a Materials Scientist who works part time as an instructor and otherwise does consulting.
I like to help people with clever ideas for science or art build prototypes and installations. My science passion is materials, my art passion is the fascinating space where strobing lights interact with your visual cortex to make patterns.
Or just shining pretty lights on art that my friends and family make.

Should Fediverse interfaces that have a "Like" button also have a "Dislike" button?
Senza categoria@GroupNebula563 @sus oh yeah, I forgot about lemmy. honestly kinda thought it died out but I'm sure the same has been said of mastodon and pixelfed infinity times. go lemmy!

Senza categoria@sus I do like that little bit, though I feel like I'd boost more if it weren't an option. I think I don't understand the original poll because it must be about a kind of instance I'm not on and have never heard of.
I didn't realize any mastodon instances were more like a reddit in this way, if that's what was meant, sounds very different for sure.

Senza categoria@evan So I said "no" but I should have said "no, but".
I don't understand the purpose of there being a favorite button at all, there's no algorithm so number of likes and dislikes doesn't change anything.
So my "no, but" is that they shouldn't have a favorite button either. They should encourage people to boost things, since that's how the "algorithm" works here -- favoriting something doesn't help other people find it so it is a placebo that gets in the way of actually spreading cool stuff.
