I peaked into r/communism and it's genuinely awful. Full of the most toxic people I have seen in the supposedly "Marxist" communities. Surprisingly Lemmy is way more chill than Reddit.

Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.

Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn't even show you your total upvotes (karma... whatever it's called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.

So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.

I know I have.

(Lemmy is rad as fuck)

As for the reposting content, are you referring to cross posting? I've noticed people doing it to my posts.

I think it's a good thing as maybe some people have lemmy.ml defederated and I still want people who use lemmy to have content so they stay and grow the federation.

Again, the points are made up and the updoots don't matter. Peace.

Definitely seeing some people doing mass downvotes. By that, I mean they disagree so much with a person's post that they then downvote other, unrelated posts by the same person.

It's not great, but at least downvotes barely affect anything other than visibility of top level comments on popular posts, and are easy to hide. Better that than people disagreeing using lazy insults and tired truisms.
