Lemmy is a bit like Reddit but without the nice factor. Love to read only the worst possible interpretation and then pile on.
I remember the very beginnings of Reddit where there was a “downvote ≠ disagree” rule and it was so much nicer. People only downvoted things that weren’t relevant or in genuinely bad faith. We’ve come a long way from those days. Now I think people get genuine dopamine hits from downvoting an already downvoted comment rather than reading it for themselves.
Mamdani didn’t invent anything; plenty of Mayors, Dem and GOP have done the same thing when there was a blizzard.
Of course, it’s different if a GOP mayor does it…
Where did anyone say anything about inventing anything?
It’s so funny to me. I point out GOP hypocrisy, but apparently I didn’t do it in the right way, so I’m getting downvoted.
It’s like you didn’t read my entire comment and just went off because you detected a slur I didn’t make.
Congratulations, you’re acting exactly like the folks who attacked Mamdani.
It doesn’t sound like you find it very funny.
Congratulations.
You’ve discovered sarcasm!

Being smaller amplifies the echo chamber effect.
1: Snow happens
2: Republicans criticize Mamdani for snow not melting at below freezing
3: Mamdani announces well paying jobs as solution to get rid of snow. Right wing demagogues mock the initiative.
4: It works EXACTLY as intended, which pleases the left
5: You criticize Mamdani for not inventing the snow shovel 6000 years ago in a bog in Russia
