    Lemmy has a weird issue with users being extraordinarily upset with posts they don’t agree with.

    Users can’t seem to just downvote them, and move on. They have to use the report button as a super downvote. And pm to the mods to complain about how >:( they are.

      People here believe that a lie is the truth if told enough times.

      Living in an echo chamber without even realising it, is a speciality for people online.

      I have not seen a single post on the frontpage critical to anything Harris has said. Not even how she said the house could strip businesses for their patent and give them away. Which wouldn’t be a very good idea in the long run.

      But good luck in November. I live on the other side of the pond.

      To be fair, you are repeatedly quite inflammatory and borderline trolling, which is not the culture of this community at all, so I can understand why there is such a reaction. So, although like I said, this doesn’t technically break any rules, it’s clear that not many people like it.

        My posts mirror many popular posts of other users. The only difference is that many users seem to react very differently to a post depending whom it portrays positively or negatively. There posts are not considered “trolling” by other users:

        Example 1 by me:

        Example 2 by me:
