This is a good one. Lemmy is good, but not being able to create avatars or give wholesome awards to posts kinda makes me want to go back
Thanks for the gold kind stranger
(I had to forcibly remind myself that we're upvoting what we'd normally downvote. Good work!)
I think Spez was just misunderstood.
"We should federate with Threads."
"Israel's actions against Hamas are completely justified."
This just feels like rage bait
You can post anything and it will get down voted. Lemmy is as toxic as reddit and people use downvote as a tool to suppress what they don't like, regardless of the merit of the comment.

I disagree. Downvoting...
The more I use it, the less I like it. For some reason, it feels like a majority of the people here are already angry and argumentative, and they are happy to snap and make me their current problem.
The hive mind aspect is also ~5x worse than Reddit. People love to cover their ears here, even in constructive conversations. It's a real shame.
A lot of users here were pushed out of other communities. They carry the toxicity with them.

Downvoting doesn't really suppress anything.
Also you can effectivly disable it by switching to a frontend that hides votes and sorting by new. I think that's even the default for some instances.
I think you fell for the comment that would be guaranteed to be downvoted.

I'm currently commenting on all the Linux communities - "I don't have this problem because I use Windows" and they're not seeing the irony
All the failed examples of communism that people say "that's only because it wasn't really communism" are really proof of why communism can't work at all. If a system is what it does, then communism always creates facism.
Edit: autocorrect originally changed it to "racism". Still got upvote lol

Taylor Swift is the first ethical billionaire
R.I.P. Kissinger
Firefox sucks.
I'm going to get downvoted for this, but...
Isn't Facebook free software, since it doesn't cost anything?
Reddit did nothing wrong.
Elon Musk is right.
Cars are awesome! Everyone should own at least 3 or 4 of them!
Loving Israel, Reddit and capitalism.
Anywhere on lemmy? That should be easy. Basically go to any niche community and shit on their central theme.
For example explain how windows is the superior OS on a linux instance. Or say you use chrome on a privacy instance.
Or just say “macOS master race” anywhere.
Too far.
Politically I lean ever so slightly to the right.
Almost perma ban right there.

This is just a trick to make me look bad if someone looks through my profile.

Firefox bad, chromium good
Israel did nothing wrong. Ever.
Tbh I'd just say some racist shit. I'm not gonna write the racist things I would say I legitimately believed it would save my wife's life. I am from the deep south. I have all that shit in a neglected shed in the backlot of my brain. Not thoughts and opinions, just hurtful words. And I can't forget them because I was an elementary school vocab whiz when I first heard most of them.

All you meatflakes should go vegan, and if you don't you're a cruel, horrible person. The only reason not to is you're a selfish piece of shit.
I literally just said vegan was a green flag in someone for me and it made people mad.
4 day work week? I did my own research as a manager and find that actually a SIX day work week is better for workers.
Trump's presidency was the best thing that ever happened to this nation
Bill O'Reilly had a lot of great points
Programming isn't hard at all, it's just \<\this> and anyone who is not able to grasp that is immediately stupid
Basically anything creationist in nature stating it as fact

Allying with Putin will fix all of America's problems
The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
"this"
CEOs are vastly underpaid.
If this comment gets to 10 upvotes, I will donate a Windows PC with Chrome installed! And with Reddit bookmarked.
Nah dawg, you aren't fooling us with this one
