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...

[-] Synthead@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

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.

[-] EatYouWell@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

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

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.

[-] gullible@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

Or just say “macOS master race” anywhere.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 6 points 9 months ago

Too far.

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.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

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

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.

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
