MODERATORS
I only came here because you linked the thread elsewhere, so I didn't see this on my front page... but you saw a poster that said 'Australia Day' and that left you not knowing there was an Australia day? 🤔
It even says aborigine enterprises on it, it's not hard gather the context or follow the qr code if you wanted to learn more. And seeing some of these comments, I think OP was right to call them out.
I obviously realized that that there is an Australia day, but no information about why this is not a day to celebrate. Sure I could look into it, but the way I use up- or down votes is a reaction to what I see. Being called out for it, was a surprise to me, and fundamentally will change the way I use Lemmy from now on
