That’s very fair, and tbh a perspective I wasn’t viewing from when I made my sarcastic comment.
The worst thing that could happen is for the fediverse to turn into a reddit clone…we certainly don’t want that.
Discussion is required to change views and inform. So I now think my original was unwarranted, sorry about that.
Ah, very fair. Was not aware of this! That would certainly skew the voting metrics to some degree.
Oh I’m not saying you can’t comment and discuss. That’s the whole point right?
But you can also just downvote the post if ya don’t like it and move on? I just see some posts of stuff where it’ll have a solid ratio of upvotes to downvotes, but then see people comment “why are we posting [x]?” Because it has more upvotes than downvotes? If you don’t like it and want to send a message, then downvote? I think discussing is a waste of time.
Although I guess I’m part of the problem by continuing the discussion lol
Missing: I drink a lot of pee
pssst, that’s what the downvote button if for 😉
You’re saying we could reactivate the gene and get infinite teeth?? 🫨
I really dislike celery. I just don’t like the texture and flavor. Yucky

I think it’s flawed to say that something is moral if it is legal and vice versa.
The haggling boosts my ego and makes me feel POWERFUL
Oh, Boeing. What a surprise.
Why skipping work during The Rapture is actually bad for your mental health.
In the moment, you’re not 100% certain the guy wanted to be on fire. The only thing you can do in this case at least is attempt to extinguish.
Amen brotha. Been getting back into hiking and camping.
The only problem is wishing I had gotten back into it sooner.
I think there are certainly crimes that deserve the death penalty (think CP type crimes). Just get those people out of society tbh, but this is just my opinion.
The only problem I have is with 100% certainly. You would have to be certain, or very very close to absolute certainty, that you have the right person who committed the crime.
Thank you. I am enlightened now
I wasn’t equating slavery with capitalism here. I was comparing your reasoning with the reasoning of those who argued for the status quo during times of slavery.
