That’s why there are some capitalists hate crony capitalism.

We got cheaper cigs but living is more sucks here :D

Idk 😂

Personally, I think the scoring system itself is fine. It only becomes an issue when the ecosystem turns into an echo chamber where people blindly downvote opposing arguments without providing a reason.

Most clients will hide down voted posts or comments if they reach certain number, CMIIW. I don’t really care about the down vote counts but when people just blindly down vote without any reason, I can assume people that downvoted me here are not really that open to discussions and only want to hear what they wanted to hear and shows a lack of understanding.

It’s acceptable and understandable for me since this is Fediverse where most people are left-leaning and I was a heavy leftist until I deep dived economics and how the left economic system is unrealistic in my personal view.

I posted something on !libertarianism@lemmy.world and got downvoted by many whilst I always upvote my opposition so the discussion doesn’t get buried. Lmao.

Terminator, for the nostalgia.
