I can’t say I never downvote anyone but I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes every response but I generally shy away from downvoting even things I dislike. I don’t want to fall into an echo chamber where all I see are only the things I agree with.
I’m not arguing that one shouldn’t have the ability to downvote. More so asking if anyone else is generally apprehensive to downvote and more specifically enjoys opposing opinions. I find in most circumstances not just of Lemmy that people are more so looking for agreement aka an echo chamber without any dissent aka an echo chamber.
Because this medium isn’t workable for argumentative conversations.
That begs the question, which medium is.
Reddit, Twitter, Lemmy, etc. Most text based social media
Bruh, read these two comments back to back and see if you’re seeing what I’m seeing.
