I can understand where you're coming from. Sometimes people do pile on over silly things. It sucks to self-censor but I think I've learned just to stay quiet on a lot of the topics people will jump on me for. The worst is when people will accuse you of holding horrible bigoted views because you make a comment about how something in a post or comment isn't exactly true. Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes. The internet is way worse than it should be...

I don't particularly enjoy the downvotes people get on here for dissenting opinions. I liked the old school Reddit mentality of "if it adds to the discussion".

Any dissent = black and white judgement sometimes.

I was trying to say the US Dems aren't the same as the Republicans. I did state I didn't like them either and listed something Biden did that's good. Someone accused me of defending genocide and a plethora of other things afterwards.

From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

I can't speak to the second part of your comment, but I'm sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.

Oh -- yeah, anything but advocating for opposing democrats at all costs is "defending genocide" to a large population of lemmy. It's pathetic.
