Dude, you posted it. If you recommend downvoting the post, delete it.
He is recommending if you dont like the post downvote it. Also if you dont like it... dont open it.
do you even realize why people don't want to spread this kind of content?
I understand I just think your argument is weak for it. You are telling someone to self censor news they post and you could just as easily self censor news you read.
If it's such a trigger topic for you that you lash out on someone posting news about it then maybe you need to self evaluate and make better choices about what news you take in.

the problem isn't the news i as an individual am reading. you do not understand the problem.
I understand, I just dont think it is the "problem" you seem to think it is.
so you're just oblivious to the last 8 years of US politics. okay.
I've been around the past 8 years. I'm just not trying to bury my head like an ostrich because I cant control what I read.
I get the argument that we shouldnt be revering these people by continually discussing them. But my beliefs are more along the lines that history should be discussed and the action of these people should be discussed so it stays in the forefront and people know.
history proves that acknowledging this kind of threat legitimizes its power.
Only if you cherry pick your history examples.
Yeah, legitimizing a minority resistance by giving it attention is an anomaly.
Acknowledging something happened and discussing it is not the same as legitimizing something.
This isn't reddit where they inflated the upvotes. You all control if something gets pushed through to the lemmy servers homepage or not.
reddit doesn't inflate the upvotes lol. they, for years, deflated the votes to make smaller communities appear bigger compared to the main subs.
Reddit created popular to boost posts for sure.
That's not the same as inflating scores, and that's what the feature is designed to do, make smaller communities more visible. The didn't remove hot or rising to make it either. This is a wild conspiracy you've manufactured here, considering they explained why they made these changes when they made them.
