Dam it’s worst than I thought . And I can hear this biofuel narrative being pushed by some politicians now.

So they will have to design specific engine then. I can see the aviation sector going there but I wonder which automotive brand will have the audacity to launch the first car.

What a disaster this would be.

So it’s sucks then. Bad efficiency + bad ressources impact.

Let’s hope that people will consider the negative impact on land and ressources for biofuel better than for meat and diary.

I wonder what do you mean by obsolete, the efficiency of a combustion engine is still dramatically bad despite of the fuel being used, compared to an electric motor.

that being said, biofuels could be a nice thing to let us drive the current ICE vehicles in circulation, but just until they are totally busted and recycled.

we really need to stop manufacturing new cars, especially the one using ICE. cars are one of the most complex and wasteful product being manufactured.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detectorists is a really wholesome show about this

I strongly encourage this discussion, because at the end it's up to the users - the community - to decide how to use those tools. I think that we have an opportunity here to embrace new custom, and leave what was on reddit on reddit.

but I would argue that the quality argument is flawed in my opinion. upvote and downvote are more used as agreement / disagreement markers.

so if you agree with content, I can understand that you just want to use the upvote (who really is a favorite here in the fediverse) to let the poster know that their content had a positive impact on yourself. I'm cool with that and it's also good to avoid "+1" or "^^^^this" comments. But maybe it shouldn't be displayed (every upvote downvote boosts are public in the fediverse, anyone can have access to this info it's how ActivityPub works for now, just go to more>activity). Favorites are not that public on other platform, I guess only people from the same server are seeing it, or people you follow, I'm not sure about that.

but the downvote mechanism, who could imply a disagreement, is problematic to me. Because we should feel free to specify why we are in a disagreement. They can be so much reason for that and only a conversation, an exchange of thought can help us understand each other.

a simple click on the downvote button is more like a "shut up" for me. Not a really great way to express ourself, to express disagreement. And it's also too healthy in my opinion.

So yes the strongest issue with this mechanism is how it contribute to encourage a single discourse, a single point of view and tend to discourage users with other point of view to engage. It's really problematic for me.

My only advice: explore. If it’s too hard come back latter. Don’t go online to look for walkthrough or video until the last last last minute.

upvote or downvote are not good indicator of the quality of a post. a controversial point of view can be of quality but still being downvoted.

I guess if you enable it on your device you are safe, but if your content is on another device that doesn't enable it (it's an opt in option), your content will be available.

Yes I’ll correct my post

if you setup tags for a magazine on kbin, posts being published in the fediverse with those tags end up in the Microblog section. just check it.

😂

To make it obvious to everyone it could be simply coded in the app. You could choose a category when posting then choose a category as an user.
