Na, I go full in and make clear that this someone is not alone.
I mean, on a Karma-free platform I don’t have to do anything to conform to the mainstream.
Sometimes it even triggers a honest discussion.

Oh sorry, obviously a typo on my site.
Naturally I meant “Karamell-free platform”.Gotta take care of your dental health!

Even on a karma platform, I didn’t care. I always used to make fun of people on reddit for deleting a post just because it was heavily downvoted. But then… eventually it wasn’t enough for people to dogpile downvotes, they had to start reporting posts they disagreed with. And the mod teams, who had eventually also gone to shit, didn’t delete the posts but instead would ban you from the sub. At that point, deleting your own post because of downvotes seemed entirely reasonable and I even started doing it myself.

It is weird how much importance people put on karma. Even I have to admit it felt good when I’d see my posts and comments upvoted but I never once cared for my aggregated karma.

Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.
In my experience, that’s what tends to happen in more traditional forums.
Voting systems are great for threads where the discussions is about problem with an objective solution, but for more subjective topics it just kills discussions.
I recommend anyone that used to be a lot on Reddit, here on Lemmy and/or other forums with karma systems to try out forums without them. Trust me you’ll notice the difference.
Niche forums with small communities tend to be best, and a lot less toxic.

This has a lot more to do with small self selecting groups to already be on the same page and know each other enough to give each other the benefit of the doubt that they are discussing in other good faith. Not always true, but far more likely simply by being a smaller group
Reddit and other threaded formats allow for easier replies in large groups, which does mean that is less likely and it is more likely to argue with as random user with a significant lack of trust.

I hope I never find a community that bans users simply because a post/comment they made had too low of a score.

You’ll be better off without them. We’ve seen where that practice leads.

This is going to be more and more common as the US elections near.
Bots and agents will be attempting to push their agendas, drowning out anything else and trying to make their point seem like the mainstream opinions.

the US is still having elections?
alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Elections are compromised, and the fact that they are working tirelessly to both compromise them further and disenfranchise voters shows they know they are so totally and completely hated that they still need to astroturf social media to bully their ideology into the mainstream, on top of intimidating those with followings that do speak out.

Not saying you can’t strongly disagree. It is possible to tell someone to go to hell politely.

Karma doesn’t accumulate here, say what you have to say and if you get voted down, get on with your life. The opinion of random people on the internet should not keep you awake
1984@lemmy.today 1 hour ago
Then again, appearently the people who downvote are very sensitive to opinions they dont agree with.
Its a counter of how many people wants their own opinions only on the thread. So if you see it they way, its funny. :)

Signtist@bookwyr.me 8 hours ago
Yeah, I understand that frequently arguing with people isn’t ideal, but if you’re not field testing your opinions against someone who’s actively trying to disprove them, then how can you really know they’re right?
There are plenty of things I was sure about until someone argued with me well enough to make me think harder about it and come to a different conclusion. Isolating yourself with only people who agree with you is convenient, but stifling; community is uncomfortable.

one_step_behind@quokk.au 8 hours ago
What a stupid argument. Some people are obviously trolls or commenting in bad faith. Blocking people like that does not build an echo chamber. If this person had said “block every person who disagrees with you” then yeah, you’re going to end up with an echo chamber.
Personally, I think it’s important to avoid blocking people so that I can see them spreading false information and that they get challenged on their BS. But plenty of people are coming to social media/ forums/ whatever you consider Lemmy to engage with other people who share a similar hobby. Not everyone needs to deal with assholes fighting over (usually American) politics.
Addv4@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
There are many more trolls on the Internet than people actually arguing in good faith. Lemmy is no exception, just hasn’t been around long enough to get all of the trolls like reddit has.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 hours ago
I’m not a fan of shrinking my echo chamber
I’ll block people who are just plain choosing to be stupid or are annoying, but I don’t want to block people who just disagree with me

I regularily jump into the comment section of minutephysics video about portal paradoxes. I will die so hard on the hill that the sentence “speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out” is a simplification where the full sentence would include that speed is relative to the respective portal.

Lemmy is a tankie bar.
Opinions that are center left or center right will routinely get banned on major communities here.

That’s true of three or four instances out of dozens if not hundreds.
Opinions that are center left or center right will routinely get banned on major communities here.
On those three or four instances, sure.
On the biggest instance, though, it’s the other way around: if a statement doesn’t align with the nominally center left to centrist (but actually right to far right) norms and positions of the DNC leadership, it’s derided as “purity testing” or “a Republican op” and downvoted to hell if not removed.

This person catches bans from feddit.org for being too zionist, if you’re far enough right, every instance is a “tankie” instance.

Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 7 hours ago
Downvoted maybe, but not banned except for a few extremist instances (which I’ve blocked anyway) or if your expressing said opinions hostily maybe. Also, remember that the problem with Lemmy being so small is it’s often like one guy deciding on bans in a lot of channels.
Objection@lemmy.ml 2 hours ago
A “tankie bar” is a place that runs off all the bigots, imperialists, zionists, etc until the only people who feel safe are a diverse community of marginalized people and their allies.

Look, all I’m saying is that maybe Bill Cosby isn’t that bad. I mean, if you look at things from a utilitarian point of view, the collective joy he has brought people over the decades HAS to outweigh his bad deeds. And who doesn’t love Jello pudding?
