Will there be a Sort by Controversial option like on reddit?

If you want to look at trolls, sort by top and scroll all the way down.

It is in the works!

Don’t know when it is going to be released. The last version of Lemmy stated the following in the patch notes:

Revert “Add controversial ranking”

I would like this very much thank you, I did not often use it but when I did it was most appreciated

Astaroth, 9 months ago

yeah I don’t use it often either. That’s why I didn’t realize it wasn’t there until after I browsed some political subs

I always felt that just breeds toxicity and trolls.

Yes, it’s true I don’t need to sort by it, but it invites bad behavior.

I agree.

Agreed. For every earnest but intensely debated opinion expressed there will be thirty people trying to toe the line so as to pull in replies. The honest and willing debater is going to post anyway, but trolls are incentivized by, uh, incentives.

If you build it, they will come, etc.

usually I just do it for the funzies but sometimes I do want to see if there’s other takes

Most every time. I’m right wing for a reason, I’m open-minded.

There’s a difference between open-minded and impressionable.

Don’t mistake the howl of the wind through an empty cavern for open-mindedness, my friend.

That’s actually totally fair, you don’t seem like you’re trying to piss anyone off at all. Thank you for being non divisive and truly contributing.
