That was 5 years ago. Nowadays they would both be bots.

function addNumbers(a, b) { return a + b; }You can use this function by calling it with two numbers as arguments. For example:
console.log(addNumbers(3, 5)); // Outputs: 8Modern JavaScript style recommends using arrow functions for anything that doesn’t need a context. Consider adjusting your code to the arrow function syntax:
const addNumbers = (a, b) => a + b;Not only is this syntax shorter, it also gives you the benefits of a constant function. You can use it the same way you did in your existing code:
console.log(addNumbers(3, 5)); // Outputs: 8For more JavaScript style suggestions, reply with more code.

That’s right! Now I can put “Markdown” on my resume!

As an actual real human being with emotions, I disagree. Downvoted and reported /s
Reddit isn’t even fun in the posts. The comments are pure shit… insecure edgelords in a constant dick measuring contest mixed with bots and bad actors.
Idk who wastes their money advertising there but I wouldn’t.
Every public forum site on the planet, even Lemmy, has insecure edgelords, dick measuring, bots, and bad actors though. That isn’t unique to reddit
It’s not the attribute of having them or not, it’s the proportion of them. Reddit is now plagued by those elements. If in some forum I find these daily, I’d do something about it (block users, unsubscribe communities, etc.), but if several of them appear daily, I’d probably abandon the whole idea of spending my time there. Also, fuck spez.
Yes. But here I can escape and not doing it…currently I have done it regarind some Hexbear discussion… and I already lost any fun on that.
Edit: Forget it, I didn’t realize Memes is on lemmy.ml. Don’t argue against china or you get banned (how is that modlog thing visible? I would love to see why).
What, you mean you don’t like hearing the same recycled jokes repeated ad nauseum because everyone has to be a comedian or having to scroll past 5 threads to read anything of substance?
Avoiding the larger subs solves most of that.
Thanks for proving me wrong
You cannot post or contact the mods because you have been perma banned
every fucking time
Votes should be public to everyone.
Nah. Then you have insane people who will harass you for downvoting their comment. Almost everything should be private. Hell, the most insane thing about Lemmy is that reports are public to the mods about who sent out a report.
One of the funniest things I witnessed was some tyrant instance owner breaking rules in other instances’ communities and getting upset when people reported him to himself.
Aren’t upvotes public on lemmy ?
Both upvotes and downvotes are public, as they have to be federated. I think most instances don’t show downvote users however.
I think kbin used to but then it died
It would be a simple matter to just make an instance and turn on visibility, right?
I downvoted your comment.
I neither upvoted nor downvoted yours.
I upvoted your comment, as well as the rest of the comments in this thread.
