By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.

Unavoidably so but then again, going sideways because of a downvote is just more data on who you might want to block.

Echo chamber within echo chamber I guess.

It’s not the people whose opinions I disagree with who I usually block. It’s people making snide comments like this while fishing for upvotes. I’ll reserve my attention to the ones who have something to say rather than ones just wanting to make noise.

If this mean we’d be able to see who has up- / downvoted a comment on our own and possibly on other people’s posts then I’m all for it. This would be highly useful at filtering out the people here I want nothing to do with.

From the video it seems like both hit the ground in front of it. These are armoured for small arms fire and mines. It wouldn’t survive a direct hit from RPG warhead which the drone likely was carrying.
