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.
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.
