I’m defending that person’s joke.
Read the screen names involved. It’s a decent hip-fire joke, but people took it the wrong way and downvote-spammed him
Who cares about downvotes though, honestly? I was expecting some piss-poor Marxist take, because that’s what you mentioned in your comment, but didn’t find one. I know they exist though, I’ve browsed Lemmygrad before.
I see what you meant to with your posting of that link, though… Maybe you need to be a bit less sensitive? You’re going to have a hard time on here with a sensitivity threshold so low. 12-ish downvotes never killed anyone. Nobody cancelled anyone, nobody got called a nazi. Nobody got censored or deplatformed. Chill out 😁
Who cares about downvotes though, honestly?
Your average person cares very much, and this topic is about getting more of them to join lemmy.
Do you have any source confirming that the average person cares about downvotes? Did you consider lurkers? I’m not convinced, myself, but I have nothing to back my position.
I thought the topic was to show that redditors were talking about Lemmy, I did not know it was about getting more people aboard. There was no such indication in the community’s sidebar, or in the post itself.
But now that you mention it, lots of people are talking about that in the comments. Maybe I just shouldn’t be here!
