Hi there, I’m looking to get into self-hosting for privacy reasons and I wanted to ask y’all: how inadvisable is it to utilize an ISP-owned router/modem? I feel like they’re able to track everything I do online with their more than likely integrated spyware.
Honest answer, why tf would s/o vote this down?
I’ve often wondered about down votes as well. It’s not the points, as I care nothing about that. However, if you’re going to down vote something, have the balls to explain why. Maybe the down voter knows something that we all can learn from. It just seems like a common courtesy to do so.
It might just be an error. It’s not too hard to hit one by mistake when scrolling on a touch screen device.
Could be. Not ruling that out. It seems to pile up tho on certain comments tho. Makes me wonder. I’m always down to be schooled. Shit son, ring the bell! Ahhh the internet.
This is why downvoting is fundamentally flawed. It could be “I don’t like it” all the way up to “I know for a fact that’s wrong,” but nobody else will ever know the rationale.
I don’t even see downvotes on my instance, and I never want to, because it just raises questions and confusion.
This. I think, waay back in the day, down voting was a way to filter bad information. Whenever I see a down vote on something I’ve said, I’m always left wondering if I gave erroneous information, was I out in the weeds smokin’ crack? I’m always down for being educated.
