Children don’t know anything yet. They haven’t lived enough to know anything yet. Because they’re children.

Wait until you’re grown up, you’ll understand that we shouldn’t listen to teenagers about how the world should work.

You spend too much time online.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that tweets or message boards or ideas or ‘silence’ is violence.

The upvote system was invented to put relevant discussion to the top, and hide irrelevant discussion. What people have done with it is use it as a like/dislike button.

If that’s what it was, that’s what it would be called. Like Facebook, which has an actual ‘like’ button

But I do think people who even interact with the system are losers. That’s my personal, anecdotal, opinion of them

Tech bros and communist teenagers aren’t ‘mainstream’.

Don’t believe everything you read on social media

Sure, but they’re children

Strange, it’s displaying as if I replied to a different comment than I intended to.

But really, I’m just mocking people who downvote others because they don’t agree with their comment. I think it’s really lame.

I’d like a place to talk to people, about contentious issues. I personally never use the downvote button and only occasionally even use the upvote button.

When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.

So I’m really just mocking those people

I want to hear it.

And it’s a discussion community, there’s a topic and people respond. If you don’t like it just move on. No reason to tell anyone to shut up.

I get downvoted a lot too. But after reading this, I think the downvote buttons might actually mean you’re right, because there are a lot of retards on lemmy who drool their way through life and have no idea what they’re talking about.

Because you’re right. I can tell by the downvotes. The more you get, the fighter you are

There should be something to this. A lot of parents keep their children off of the internet, but having young children accessing ‘most’ of the internet is a bad fucking idea

Parents, monitor and limit your kids online. I know it’s hard as fuck, I know other kids will think it’s weird that your kid doesn’t know the new tiktok thing. Do it anyway

I tend to comment on things I have something to say about, that’s usually a contrary opinion. I’m less likely to comment if I agree.

I mean, I’d love to talk to people who don’t think like I do.

Unfortunately, that’s not really how it ends up working out.

I’m getting tired of Musk, left wing news stories and left wing memes myself

I’ll join these communities simply because lemmy seems so one dimensional looking through my feed.

If there is non-political content here, I’d appreciate it being brought more to the front, at least for my own feed.

I’m hoping for more diverse topics than what seems to hit all day after day. To the point where I’m usually not even logging in as often as I could be.

The topics are boring, one sided and just … lame
