  You know what, I’ll just copy–paste this here, although I’ve never actually hoarded examples of all the times Lemmy was essentially as dumb as Reddit:

  Several weeks ago, there was this post in a news community to a BBC News article. It was a real article; no tricks, correct headline. But the link was a 404. When I found it, it was upvoted about 20–0. I downvoted it as obviously nonfunctional but also commented remarking that it’s a 404 and giving the OP the correct link. When I came back to that post a couple hours later hoping to upvote a fixed link, the link was unchanged, it was upvoted 50–1 (my downvote), and it had one comment (mine) upvoted 1–0. (Edit: I checked, to preemptively clarify, that this wasn’t a “me” problem.)

  Lemmy users collectively have the media literacy of a housefly.

    In this thread, you’re the one we’re giggling at because you think you’re so clever, yet simultaneously fail to realize that everyone knows this shit is fake. Nobody cares about your previous interactions, just how dumb you look here.

      Shit, no, I think you’re right, actually: maybe Lemmy are worth taking seriously because I remember they were smart enough to correct your stupid, confidently incorrect ass the other day with “hurr durr Windows viruses can’t run through WINE”.

        My guy, if you hate Lemmy so much then what in the Kentucky fried fuck are you doing here?
