I don’t see any reason for me to use Linux
‘Windows is fairly keen on privacy concerns’
I think Spez was just misunderstood.
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.

I disagree. Downvoting…
The more I use it, the less I like it. For some reason, it feels like a majority of the people here are already angry and argumentative, and they are happy to snap and make me their current problem.
The hive mind aspect is also ~5x worse than Reddit. People love to cover their ears here, even in constructive conversations. It’s a real shame.
A lot of users here were pushed out of other communities. They carry the toxicity with them.
Huh, this is a great point. I haven’t thought about that.
100% people here are much more argumentative and angry and less likely to tolerate differing opinions
There’s also way less viewpoint diversity here. There’s a pretty narrow window of opinions on any given subject that’s tolerated.
Huh. This hasn’t been my experience. I notice some hive-mindedness and meme responses, but in general I feel like high-quality comments are more visible here. I also put a lot more effort into my comments than I ever did on Reddit.
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.
This, and moreover some instances don’t dederate downvotes.
I’m on Kbin so I only see downvotes from other people on kbin.
People on Beehaw don’t see downvotes from anyone because it’s not a thing there.
Mmmmmmeta
There is a tendemcy for what gets more downvotes.
In particular anything not FOSS and Windows based.
“We should federate with Threads.”
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
“Israel’s actions against Hamas are completely justified.”
Firefox sucks.
This just feels like rage bait
R.I.P. Kissinger
Loving Israel, Reddit and capitalism.
Cars are awesome! Everyone should own at least 3 or 4 of them!
Isn’t Facebook free software, since it doesn’t cost anything?
Taylor Swift is the first ethical billionaire
This is just a trick to make me look bad if someone looks through my profile.
Like you need the help, Chomongulus.
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.
