If you go to the "new" tab/sort on "new", you will see that people are downvoting facts and events they don't like, NOT downvoting articles that they think people should see.

Mei Fun noodles cook quickly and expand is size. I just add beans or cubed tofu, frozen vegetables, and some sauces for a fast, tasty lunch.

And the vote buttons have been intentionally placed after/under the topic-title/comments so people are more likely to actually read said content before voting on them.
That is what I like.
I think most Redditors simply aren't aware to how toxic voting on contents is. I was disappointed seeing how most Lemmy communities just carried that kind of voting over into their communities. I too like how voting is done here. It serves the idea originally behind content voting --- to promote content you think is worthy. Downvotes simply aren't needed and actually retard a lot of what the creators of content voting wanted. My guess is that many redditors want the ability to "punish" thoughts they don't like without having to put in the work of making something to say.

Their freedom to make noise, ends at their walls, floor, and ceiling. The other tenants like yourselves have rights and lives too.
If it becomes a recurring thing find out what apartment they are in, and what the rules of the building are regarding noise.
I've dealt with shit like that before. My sincere hope this was a one off.

I dread writing the tests! :-)
More complicated and more work than my projects.
I test what I code and I have the QA team to do that as well. The react tests seem kind of pointless to me at this point which would be bad enough if they weren't also a burden.

I like having a global state ( sounds fascist, hah hah ), the sort of equivalent of a "session variable" in web language to just put things in and the React toolkit, so far, seems to make that more straightforward.
Just clarifying what I meant.

New job. I've been wanting to learn something new for a while, so I took a project where a lot of React is done. I'm learning it from scratch while I work with React.
I have some comments about it.
- React makes front end work a lot more like programming -- I like that!
- Javascript has changed a lot, and for the better, since I last used it over a decade ago.
- The React-Redux tool kit is the bomb. It should be integrated/absorbed into React. I can't see any reason not to use it, even for small applications as it is less wordy wherever you use it.
- The updating of state values should be more automatic, especially for flag variables not tied to GUI components. It is the major source of hassles with React
- Udemy React videos. My company makes them available free of charge to employees. I've sampled videos from a number of courses. I'm not a fan of the instructors showing you how to do things in older, less efficient ways first in a learning/demo project, the ERASING that code to do it a better way. The should include copies of the project at each stage if they do that. I finally figured out that the best way to take notes I can use later is to comment out the old code and put the new more efficient next stage stuff on top.
- React tests really need to improve. They are often more time consuming than the code itself. The tests have forced me to change my code or do needless testing to get the tests to pass. I had one situation where no matter what I did React test said I didn't cover the code until I broke an else clause off into it's one if clause. Blech.
All in all I've been enjoying learning React. It is neat new ( to me ) thing.
I feel sad that I will likely forget it all when I go back to my specialty language.
