Have you tried engaging in a good-faith discussion instead of whatever half-witted rage-bait you attempted the first time?
Serves you right for having a reasonable opinion.
The Internets got to be worse thing to happen to the European and American civilian psyche. It’s like constant surprise that genocide and slavery spanned over 600 years of colonialism and imperialism may have a great deal more to do with our wealthy lifestyles rather than the last 50 years of relatively not so over the top slavery. Muh scandanavian democratic socialism built off centuries of violent oppression of labor and theft around the world. Modern day Israel does the dirty work while Europeans try to act like they haven’t been benefactors all this time and now the same with countries like Rwanda and their neighbors
Getting banned from a .ml instance is a fediverse right of passage
Comments are wild here
And then they ask for donations
Not necessarily the best example in this post, but in general, I find I get downvoted a lot when I make a good faith comment in .ml posts where I think I’m agreeing and am trying to understand the topic further. Getting 20 downvotes kind of kills my motivation to engage any further, though, so I usually just delete my comment , shrug, and move on. I’ve gotten to the point where I try to avoid wasting my time and energy commenting on .ml posts in the first place.
Maybe it’s just a different perspective on what a downvote means? To me, I’m generous with upvotes and withholding an upvote means I don’t find it interesting or disagree. I use downvotes sparingly for spam, trolling, comments made in bad faith, etc.
A downvote in my mind roughly translates to “fuck off”, so if a group gangs up and tells everyone with a slightly different worldview to fuck off, then they eventually will and said group will be all by themselves in their own echo chamber. If that’s the goal, then fair enough.
Holy shit can you keep this dogshit on meanwhileongrad?? Like we get it there are crazy soviets on the internet, get over it you don’t need to turn every server into meanwhile
Last week highly-upvoted comment on reddit claimed that environmentalism is nothing more than russian-bot fueled fad.
.ml is Lemmy’s The_Donald or /r/Conservative. Obviously different ideologies, but the behavior is the same. Bunch of petulant children.
this has got to be one of the dumbest posts I’ve seen here, who the fuck gives a shit
Me: googles tankie
So, I’ve been exploring these comments for the past 30 mins. They honestly make me wonder; are we seeing an echo chamber effect by instance?
Does Lemmy have any tools to count upvote/downvote by user instances, especially by comment layer. I think I want to dive into this rabbit hole.
A bullshit false equivalence that only serves to amplify alt-right messaging? Yeah, I’d downvote that garbage, too.
Cry more, bigot. I see the comments you’ve had removed by mods.
