  • I basically did the exact opposite. I never press the upvote/downvote button, but I almost always leave a comment on the page whenever I have something interesting to say. I even reply to the replies I get. I have carried this behavior forward to Lemmy.

    This is just natural. You want to comment on threads to conversate, even if you don’t really agree or disagree with the article. If you like/dislike the article enough, you’ll up/downvote it and comment on it.







  • The way voters protest this sort of issue doesn’t follow logic or reason. People will happily not vote in protest, even if it means somebody far worse will win because of their actions. Cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    I think the news needs to shame these kind of voters, instead of pushing this narrative that it’s Biden’s fault. Biden’s views are his own, and yeah, the news should try to highlight and change them. But, voter patterns of using “uncontested” or third-party candidates to sabotage the main electees is actively destroying Democrats’ chances of winning elections.
