    I’m really surprised at the upvote / downvote ratio here.

    You guys are clearly talking past each other , but only you are getting the downvotes.

    You’ve both got valid points - and entirely unrelated to each other - but they are refusing to acknowledge.

      It’s because Ifera is taking an imaginary scenario seriously. “Get punched in the face” is a common american euphamism for “You’re an asshole if you do this. But I’m not going to literally punch you in the face”.

      Personally, I don’t see any valid point being made by the other person, other than agreeing with me about trans people needing protection and conversion therapy being fucked up.

      Someone who’s opening statement is promoting violence and acting like assaulting people on the street is an appropriate response to those glasses doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt from me, so I just bait them a bit to kill some time.

      I don’t mind the down votes, anyone rational enough would see how escalating to assault is straight up insane. I already knew I wasn’t going to convince the other person, so might as well have some fun, No?

      Also, whatch this comment get down voted by the herd mentality and the people angry enough to keep coming back to continue down voting me, as well as going into my history just to downvote random older comments.

        This comment section actually feels a bit like Reddit. I also was surprised about the upvote/downvote rate, especially regarding the insults of the “other” party.

          Yeah, people here are unhinged when it comes to Linux, AI, renting and a few other topics, and lose all reading comprehension.

          And the dogpiling is extreme. Lots of people here gladly get baited by bad faith posts seeking engagement, which is extra pointless here, where Karma isn’t even a thing. But ultimately, not as shit as Reddit, so that’s at least something.
