The reason you're getting downvoted is probably more of a reflex than anything else. We get a lot of concern trolls here who love to sealion and generally be obnoxious and annoying.
Just be sure to actually listen to what we have to say (you don't need to change you mind though) and respond appropriately and you'll be fine. If you just talk past us and accuse us of things we don't actually believe, yeah, you're going to get downvotes, same as if you tried that on any social media platform.
I kind of just wandered in here from /all and didn’t realize what kind of sub this was before I started commenting, lol. Very interesting to read though
At least you bothered to actually check the sidebar and work out what sub this was before commenting. A lot of these people can't even be bothered to do that.
I’m on Memmy but it just shows “no description”. I kind of got the vibe here by seeing the icon and the comments. It’s cool though - good to see insights from different viewpoints rather than those from my own usual haunts. That’s the cool part about Lemmy, lots of different groups on here just doing their thing without much blind bigotry.
Huh, very strange. Might be an error.
