You spend too much time online.
I don’t subscribe to the idea that tweets or message boards or ideas or ‘silence’ is violence.
The upvote system was invented to put relevant discussion to the top, and hide irrelevant discussion. What people have done with it is use it as a like/dislike button.
If that’s what it was, that’s what it would be called. Like Facebook, which has an actual ‘like’ button
But I do think people who even interact with the system are losers. That’s my personal, anecdotal, opinion of them
Tech bros and communist teenagers aren’t ‘mainstream’.
Don’t believe everything you read on social media
Sure, but they’re children
Strange, it’s displaying as if I replied to a different comment than I intended to.
But really, I’m just mocking people who downvote others because they don’t agree with their comment. I think it’s really lame.
I’d like a place to talk to people, about contentious issues. I personally never use the downvote button and only occasionally even use the upvote button.
When I see a perfectly reasonable comment with -50 downvotes within minutes of posting … it makes me laugh at everyone who just can’t hit that downvote button fast enough.
So I’m really just mocking those people
I want to hear it.
And it’s a discussion community, there’s a topic and people respond. If you don’t like it just move on. No reason to tell anyone to shut up.
I get downvoted a lot too. But after reading this, I think the downvote buttons might actually mean you’re right, because there are a lot of retards on lemmy who drool their way through life and have no idea what they’re talking about.
Because you’re right. I can tell by the downvotes. The more you get, the fighter you are
There should be something to this. A lot of parents keep their children off of the internet, but having young children accessing ‘most’ of the internet is a bad fucking idea
Parents, monitor and limit your kids online. I know it’s hard as fuck, I know other kids will think it’s weird that your kid doesn’t know the new tiktok thing. Do it anyway
They should just cut to the chase and suck each others dicks
This is … super gay
I have a question. If not having diversity and inclusion training is a ‘fascist overhaul of the curriculum’ …. Assuming that’s true ….
Does that mean that I grew up in a fascist west? Before diversity and inclusion were a thing anyone talked about?
I don’t understand how fascism just POPS into the discussion. Am I considered fascist, educated and born into a fascist regime?
I’m from the 80’s. It didn’t feel fascist to not grow up with diversity and inclusion classes
Wouldn’t they have a better chance if Biden funded them?
DOWN WITH THE GOP!
Table dancing joke is not appropriate, at all
Or I’m responsible for the women on my team and don’t tolerate a culture of anything less than professional
Joke marketing/publicity thing
Sounds kinda racist, bro
Just say what it actually is. There are an inordinate amount of creeps in tech
This was really weird to read. Self harm like this is normally associated with pretty severe mental illness.
Like what did she think they were going to do if she called in sick? Beat her up? Definitely a strange part of the story.
She probably should have kept that part to herself
Children don’t know anything yet. They haven’t lived enough to know anything yet. Because they’re children.
Wait until you’re grown up, you’ll understand that we shouldn’t listen to teenagers about how the world should work.
