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.
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.
