I recently came across a Reddit post with a greentext also posted here a few weeks before (by me). While the one here got downvoted, the one on Reddit got over two thousand upvotes. Don’t take me wrong however, this has led me to realize how much morals differ between the two platforms; it seems to me like Lemmings have overall better morals in general. I’ve come to appreciate this. Evidence like this shows how much better Lemmy is as a community (excluding lemmygrad) when compared to Reddit. Instead of becoming what you swore to destroy, you became better a better version. I thought you all would find this interesting.
Morals, lol. Half of lemmy is tankies that unironically think the guys was great. That’s one for reddit.
Seriously, I assumed it was downvoted because the hexbear and lemmygrad chuds got butthurt.
I’m seriously anything but a Mao simp. But afaik, the famine in China wasn’t done on purpose, while the Germans industrialized murder.
Really, the famines were due to the great leap forward killing off everyone who knew how to prevent a famine. Though iirc it’s argued that in a few regions the famines were intentional genocide.
Just like in the USSR 🤡
OP you made the classic mistake of thinking that lots of upvotes means that lots of people agree with the thing stated in post.
It was upvoted there because it contains the nword. It was downvoted here for the same reason. /s
But seriously people upvote and downvote for lots of stupid reasons. Often posts just need an inital wave of up/down votes and anyone that comes after will just go with the preexisting judgement out of herd mentality.
I have upvoted you because I like your username.
I’ve changed apps since then but Jerboa allowed you to hide the vote count so you couldn’t see what everyone else voted for. It was interesting turning it on and off to see how I voted compared to the herd
Would be interesting to have it behave like polls where it shows the results after you voted.
Before reading the OOP itself, I thought this post was comparing cropping/orientation etiquette.
no, it’s because people think mao was right here
What I find annoying about these memes is that it’s always about how Germany killed 6 million Jews during ww2, while they actually killed 17 million ordinary people in ethnically motivated mass killings. That’s 11 miillions victims of ethnic cleansing that seem to be forgotten.
Did that post call Hitler the n word? That probably has more to do with the downvotes here
I just checked the OOP on Reddit, and it is indeed censored there (not just censored by OP here). Lemmy version does not seem to be similarly censored. You may be onto something.
Lemmy.world does censor it.
they mean the image in the post, not like typing it in the comments.
the OP of the reddit one censored it but the OP of the Lemmy one didn’tEDIT: I was wrong… I think, I’m not really sure anymore lol
