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!)
"Israel's actions against Hamas are completely justified."
"We should federate with Threads."
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.
You can post anything and it will get down voted.
I disagree. Downvoting...
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'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
Firefox sucks.
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

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

Elon Musk is right.
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.
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.
Reddit did nothing wrong.
Isn't Facebook free software, since it doesn't cost anything?
The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.
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.
Politically I lean ever so slightly to the right.
Almost perma ban right there.
CEOs are vastly underpaid.
If this comment gets to 10 upvotes, I will donate a Windows PC with Chrome installed! And with Reddit bookmarked.
Allying with Putin will fix all of America's problems
ethical billionaires exist
9/11 was mid at best.
Nah dawg, you aren't fooling us with this one
I wish this place was more like Reddit
Linux is the worst OS ever.
Windows is better.
Linux is way too complicated and gaming is impossible.
And don't get me started on the whole CLI with Linux.

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
Lemmy is way too confusing and hard to use
You and I are not the same.
You upvote comments that are relevant to the thread.
I downvote every comment to save your mothers.
I can't do pictures right now because of the severs but insert Giancarlo Esposito picture here.
Elon Musk is a hero and we should all praise him, buy Teslas and use autopilot all the time while checking out our phones.
