    Stop thinking with your feelings and how you wish things were Lemmy.

    That’s kinda how things work here/online. Did you not notice how every poll with trump up was downvoted to oblivion?

      I’m fully aware and have been screaming into the void to get this shit-parade to stop getting high on their own supply. But moderation has cultivated a specific kind of echo chamber that is deeply toxic to material reality.

        Not sure what you’re talking about, so far everything is going exactly as I called it, including Trump/Scott in Florida, Trump/Cruz in Texas, and Trump in Iowa.

        I don’t think it’s moderation. I think people are genuinely less capable these days at processing news with which they disagree.

        That and I think Lemmy skews young, I bet a lot of folks here don’t know anyone socially who would vote for trump.

            Why do you think it’s moderation?

            And why on Earth would you think Lemmy doesn’t skew young?

              Why do you think it’s moderation?

              Because I have been on this forum long enough to know who the moderators are and how they moderate.

              And why on Earth would you think Lemmy doesn’t skew young?

              Because I guess I just know a shit ton more about Lemmy’s demographics than you?

                Well, I for one, make it rule to always trust someone whose sources are “trust me bro” !
