That’s very fair, and tbh a perspective I wasn’t viewing from when I made my sarcastic comment.
The worst thing that could happen is for the fediverse to turn into a reddit clone…we certainly don’t want that.
Discussion is required to change views and inform. So I now think my original was unwarranted, sorry about that.
Ah, very fair. Was not aware of this! That would certainly skew the voting metrics to some degree.
Oh I’m not saying you can’t comment and discuss. That’s the whole point right?
But you can also just downvote the post if ya don’t like it and move on? I just see some posts of stuff where it’ll have a solid ratio of upvotes to downvotes, but then see people comment “why are we posting [x]?” Because it has more upvotes than downvotes? If you don’t like it and want to send a message, then downvote? I think discussing is a waste of time.
Although I guess I’m part of the problem by continuing the discussion lol
Missing: I drink a lot of pee
pssst, that’s what the downvote button if for 😉
I don’t drink soda
I don’t drink soda. Why? So I can tell people that I don’t drink soda.
Yall can buy the good looking fruit. I’ll take my ugly ass pineapples for a discount any day.

Everything alright in there??
I wasn’t equating slavery with capitalism here. I was comparing your reasoning with the reasoning of those who argued for the status quo during times of slavery.
