I just made a joke stolen from reddit lol
I also made that particular joke
I laughed at said joke and then downvoted it.
I took the joke seriously, lectured you about it in the comments, and then downvoted.
This is going to be more and more common as the US elections near.
Bots and agents will be attempting to push their agendas, drowning out anything else and trying to make their point seem like the mainstream opinions.
It do be like that sometimes
Karma doesn't accumulate here, say what you have to say and if you get voted down, get on with your life. The opinion of random people on the internet should not keep you awake
Everyone gets to express their opinion. As long as you are honest and polite it's fine. If others choose to be impolite then fuck em.
What if someone is a nazi. Should we be polite ?
Being a nazi is not an opinion.
For those who may be confused:
A nazi is an ideology that is used as an identity. The ideology is made up of a group of identical opinions. Some people may share an opinion with the nazi, but if they shade no others then we really should be polite to at least find out if they're a closeted nazi.
Not saying you can't strongly disagree. It is possible to tell someone to go to hell politely.
“I do desire that we may be better strangers.”
Sir, would you be so kind as to graciously go fuck thyself?
“Out of my sight! Thou dost infect mine eyes.”
Gentlemen, may I take a moment to remark on the excellent attire of our good sir. It is unfortunately his rehetoric that reveals his damnation.

Use block liberally. Your bubble will slowly improve, and so will everyone else's.
There's not sufficient echo in my chamber!
Yeah, I understand that frequently arguing with people isn't ideal, but if you're not field testing your opinions against someone who's actively trying to disprove them, then how can you really know they're right?
There are plenty of things I was sure about until someone argued with me well enough to make me think harder about it and come to a different conclusion. Isolating yourself with only people who agree with you is convenient, but stifling; community is uncomfortable.
I know, but some people over here seem to be afraid of any dissent.
I like to jokingly refer to it as “improving the acoustics”
I'll echo in your momma's chambers
But that's just because my momma so fat that... wait...
There are many more trolls on the Internet than people actually arguing in good faith. Lemmy is no exception, just hasn't been around long enough to get all of the trolls like reddit has.

Na, I go full in and make clear that this someone is not alone.
I mean, on a Karma-free platform I don't have to do anything to conform to the mainstream.
Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.
Even on a karma platform, I didn’t care. I always used to make fun of people on reddit for deleting a post just because it was heavily downvoted. But then.. eventually it wasn’t enough for people to dogpile downvotes, they had to start reporting posts they disagreed with. And the mod teams, who had eventually also gone to shit, didn’t delete the posts but instead would ban you from the sub. At that point, deleting your own post because of downvotes seemed entirely reasonable and I even started doing it myself.
It is weird how much importance people put on karma. Even I have to admit it felt good when I’d see my posts and comments upvoted but I never once cared for my aggregated karma.
I hope I never find a community that bans users simply because a post/comment they made had too low of a score.
We must maintain homogeneous social cohesion at any cost, I don't care how many feelings I hurt along the way

I misread this as "Kamala-free platform"
I misread this as "Kamala-free platform"
Oh sorry, obviously a typo on my site.
Naturally I meant "Karamell-free platform".
Gotta take care of your dental health!

I always try to leave a comment in support when this happens.
It's especially nice to see a comment go from -5 to +5 after you do so.
And then sometimes, just sometimes… It’s fuck it. I’m getting in the ring
