Can’t say I’m shocked that pointing out clickbait and misleading elements in the headline led to a bunch of downvotes. He’s on the Wrong Team, you see, so if you do anything but swallow the headline whole, reading not a single word past it, with absolutely zero scrutiny, you’re defending him, defending child molestation, and basically a pedophile yourself, you know. /s
i still think a lot of it is vote manipulation.
if leftist online spaces always scream at rational discussion and promote irrational ones, it’ll seem like that’s how they all are and drive them away.
irl leftists are way way more considerate and go out of their way to respect other people….
they love debating minutiae….
but with 10 bots per human these places will always get fucked with like this.
one dead giveaway is i’ll have -22 votes but the highest vote count is 10….
and with the way Lemmy sorts comments, once i hit -5 it’s collapsed and buried at the bottom… so if that were real, way way more people are skipping every other comment and just going to the bottom to downvote people.
or only downvoting and not upvoting a single comment….
i mean, chuds come in and try to troll and they don’t get downvoted like someone reasonably discussing a couple of points….
