I disavow the ignorance displayed in the statement that “Feminists always think women are better than men.” But felt important to share how well received such a message is received on this site.

The worst opinion you've ever seen

Yup, that's about what I expect every week or so

I have encountered a lot of this mentality on Lemmy. Sometimes I go to engage, but it's simply not worth it.

You won't be able to inform folks with these opinions in a content aggregator forum, it's just not the place for learning (and 196 is much less so).

Also is this OC in 196? Isn't that sort of against the spirit of the community?

I only engage to make them feel unwelcome for having a bigoted view.

seriously what the fuck. at least his replies are in the negatives. i suspect a troll, but all these upvotes??

How hard is it to manipulate votes on Lemmy instances? I'm guessing the answer varies depending on the instance but I don't think it's completely impossible on any of them.

Very easy

To back this statement up, there was/is a vegan community that would ban anyone who downvoted a post in their community so that sub would jump to the frontpage, because anyone who was banned could no longer vote on its content.

Having seen that thread, lemmy.ca isn't sending its best, as usual.
