What is up with recent surge of libs? Before a few months there was that one downvoter every once in a while which was solved, now every there is at least one random lib in comments every few days, it’s like that for about 3 months.

Even if I think that Sankara’s ‘never stop explaining’ should be used frequently, I still think that we should always just respond with a random shitpost or reaction image to such comments. What do y’all think?

    I prefer the comments to the phantom downvoters. You can get some good dunks in on the former and there’s the chance someone stumbles across it and actually thinks for a few seconds. As far as how to respond to them, I don’t really want to dictate that. I think there is a place for a reasonable and rational response, a plus for dunks, and a place for pig memes.

    I usually migrate from one to the next; I will engage in good faith at least to begin with. Doesn’t mean I think everyone should do the same if they don’t want to.

      You wouldn’t care about downvotes. They’re as meaningless here as they were on Reddit. Off course most people don’t agree with you. You knew that anyway.

        On Reddit, you could be restricted from posting on subreddits if you don’t have enough karma. I want to encourage Lemmy to not adopt this feature because I enjoy being able to be honest and not worry about being downvoted to oblivion for mentioning anything from a Marxist perspective, especially where Russophobic libs are abundant in the fediverse.
