Thank you for making them just to show them in a picture here

Content curation.

I upvote or leave neutral opinions and arguments I disagree with if they’re well argued or otherwise contribute to discussion and strengthen respectful discourse.

I don’t know how you feel when your posts get sum-negative scores, but it makes me feel rejected and makes me not want to participate. I receive it as a social indicator. I see it as something that leads us towards echo chambers.

I mainly use three Lemmy accounts. Sections content/themes.

I signed up for… maybe 8 Lemmy, maybe 12 Fediverse things?

Dubious and disagree downvotes. But that’s always been here already. That became pretty clear to me pretty fast.

I’m a bit skeptical about this argument because autocratic states love to hold practically fake and forced elections with 90 or 99 % approval and use that as justification.

I’m not sure even with a successful election and it going to the democrats we’ll be able to tell. At least from today’s view. It will largely depend on how institutions and the justice/court system can hold out against the current administration right now and during this phase.

I feel like they may have already created damage that won’t be cleared just from one election or one election period’s fixups.

At the same time, hopefully, this is the wake-up call for opposition and a transformation one way or another. It’s plainly obvious what is happening now, and I am hoping opposition will become more apparent and prevalent because of it. Not just in citizens, but institutions too.

What does PSL stand for?

I’ve seen it too often on Lemmy too.

Most are of what you describe, but not all of them. I have seen valuable background checks before (back on Reddit). I specifically remember an elaborate post about bots/botnet.

I don’t like your dismissive qualification of “have so little going on in their lives”. Some background checks are good and important. Dismissing people who are willing to invest into that in general, but also dismissing people who “have nothing better to do” for their situation, feels like an awful, uncalled-for, inappropriate insult.

/edit: Rewording to better get my point across.
