  • No it's definitely there, but you're right that it seems variable by community.

    I don't think Lemmy has a particularly more hateful user base than any other site, or than the population in general. However, I think the demographics here mean that the handful of Lemmy users who are hateful tend to be so in the same direction. So if there are two positions for some topic, hate for one position will be more common on Lemmy than the other. This can manifest in many ways.

    I suspect there are many others, but I'll talk about the one I've noticed. On some of the Christian communities here on Lemmy, all the posts have been downvoted more than upvoted. Kinda makes me think there are a few people who just downvote every post they see on those communities.

  • I've seen it here as long as I've been here, it's the main reason why I'm not on here much anymore. First time I noticed it was when I went looking for Christian communities here and found nearly every post was getting more downvotes than upvotes. Kinda seems like there are a few on this platform who enjoy downvoting people just for being Christians - and those people outnumber those interested in actual conversation on those communities.

    So why is Lemmy like this? I dunno, I can only speculate.

  • This feels like something that could be brought up on Lower Decks.

  • You'll get your rent when you fix this ****** door.

  • "Do you wish there were more content like this?" Upvote.

    "Do you wish there were less content like this?" Downvote.

  • Someone's not going to college.

  • Probably trying to paint a narrative that Zelensky is undemocratic and corrupt, which some people in the US might believe.

  • I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

  • Beyond what everyone else has said, it has already been shown that LLMs have a chance of regurgitating training data, which means that someone's personal data could get returned in a Bing Chat query.

  • Right? I don't know anything about Welder's Eye, but I know ultraviolet light is invisible to humans, so I'd imagine that most people present wouldn't notice anything wrong until hours later. Once you know this can happen, you just have to trust that all the places you go aren't putting your health at risk. Insane.

  • I hope this is real. If you look into it and find it isn't real, don't tell me.

  • Yeah I don't get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.

  • I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.

    It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.

  • Hold on, the kid from Home Alone works for Facebook now?

  • I'm not a raccoon!
