    Let’s not pretend we’re in any better of a situation. Same exact thing could happen on any Lemmy server, especially since each server is a small fiefdom run by randos.

        Like when people start commenting on the near-east conflict. Hardly anyone knows what the fuck is going on there yet we find many experts on the topic in the comments.

          I don’t think this is wrong. I’ve learned so much talking shit. I even use talking shit as a mechanism to learn.

          I talk shit -> someone corrects me -> I learned something new. The person feels great because they corrected someone.

          It’s like a free lesson and everyone wins.

          Even people who didn’t know shit, like me, get to read someone beating my ass with arguments, and they also learn.

            But if nobody knows much of anything on the matter, how can anyone be sure they’re being corrected and learning anything? 🤔

            That is a nice, refreshing and honest view. If I’m being honest with myself, this happened to me very often as well.

          “please stop fighting and get along” is my fundamental take on most wars. It’s not particularly useful, but it helps me split the average soldier from the average “leader” that sent them to die.

      But 4chan tho is a good place for factually informed discussion. Mr Greentext has it all figured out.

      No kidding. I got downvoted a dozen times because I mentioned that diet and practices help with sun burns and sunscreen isn’t the win all against the sun. I didn’t post sources right away, but when I did the hive has made up it’s mind.

          Settle down. I’m talking about people getting upset on a comment without acknowledging authenticity. The downvote and how a comment is buried or promoted is probably the worst thing reddit has manufactured. It’s what the post is about. And what the comment I replied to is that it’s happening here at lemmy

            just sounds to me like youre a kid and you give too much worth to a karma system.
            Link the comment, maybe you didn’t deserve it but to me you just sound like a wiseguy.
            Diet doesn’t replace sunscreen.

              I could care less about any of these systems, other than say it’s not flowing towards equitable information. You thinking I’m saying diet replaces sunscreen shows you’re not processing it.

              We’re not discussing sun screen, and I’m old. Take what you want.
