A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Maybe people are tired of hearing about orange idiots. Maybe Mercury is in retrograde. Maybe people misclicked the tiny little arrows in voyager. Who knows. I personally don’t spend brain cycles on worrying about things that don’t matter.

No no, I'm not asking maybies. I'm asking you. Why do you think this post deserves to be downvoted, since you're arguing so hard in favour of it.

Who said i think it deserves to be downvoted?

I wouldn’t explain my voting patterns to my own mother so why would i explain them to a stranger who gets sad about pixels?

The internet is irrational. The sooner you realize that the better your mental health will be.

Well, you did downvote the post, so it's a fair question in your specific case, @teft@lemmy.world. In case you are unaware, mods and admins can see votes.

I’m aware who can see downvotes. I don’t care and won’t explain my actions. It’s quite comical how twisted up you all get for a few pixels.

I'm not going to pretend that I read every comment. But I did upvote everyone in this thread.
