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.
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.
