i mean… to be fair… when i visited my hometown in poland in 1998… it really still looked very much like 1980 was still looming around the corner… it wasnt the 18th hundred but i loved it for its gritty “you want sweets? how about a nice refreshing glass of last summers compote from gramps allotment?”. silly nostalgia of course but yeah…

here nobody uses it anyway, so i dont even log on :3

im not sure what to tell you as you already pointed out the obvious caveat yourself with that edit…

maybe you could try using an instance without a downvote button… at least blajah.zone had that i think

im not trying to invalidate your opinionated observation but afaict most people use the downvote to convey disagreement more than anything. i can remember a couple of interactions where the downvotes had felt like what you describe, but thinking back, it was always in one or another certain community (also it was on that shitty, commercial lemmy-knockoff) so maybe the users there were just very opinionated against my opinions 🤷

added: pardon me, that was blahaj.zone actually

squints bread crops? what like wheat and rye?

pirating AAA games, movies and music?

to be quite frank in my opinion, if they are sentenced to pay anyone even a single penny, sam altman ought to also get the same punishment, except due once for every human he indirectly inflicted harm on.
