I asked something in c/nostupidquestions and got downvoted heavily, was I really out of line? I felt so unwelcomed that I decided to leave Lemmy.

    You’ve decided to leave Lemmy after being downvoted for posting links to conspiracy videos disguised as a question?

    FWIW, I didn’t downvote you, but surely you must see why other people have?

    I’ll provide some similar examples, hopefully you can see the problem.

    “Is it true that deep down women really want to be treated as slaves? These Andrew Tate videos raise some compelling points. Link. Link”

    “Is it true that black people are trying to wipe out the white race by diluting the purity of our bloodline? Here are some convincing videos. Link. Link.”

    Obviously these examples are worse than yours, but they’re exactly the same form. Nobody wants that kind of thing in their feed. Nobody wants to be asked to watch tinfoil-hat crackpot garbage before they can properly answer a question.

      Oh let me do one! I want to make an obviously bad take!

      “After reading the Harry Potter books I consider myself to be in the slytherin house”
