It’s ok to fundamentally disagree with someone and still be civil and polite when speaking with them.

It’s ok not to win a discussion, just participate until it doesn’t bring you joy, then stop.

Lemmy, and the fediverse, is stronger with diverse people, opinions, communities - even if you disagree with them. Even normies of mainstream political parties you disagree with.

Downvotes are not a disagree button. Lemmy is not training a personal algorithm to provide a echo chamber, downvotes should mean content is harmful to the community its in.

What’s the difference between a mechanical engineer and a civil engineer?

This feels like a ai generated article

lemmy.world appears to be their main account, this seems to be the post that triggered them do do their downvoting spree: https://lemmy.world/post/41260627

Looks like the sock puppet master was angry for about 20 minutes, and got tired of manually downvoting. Still pretty terrible vote manipulation making lemmy a hostile place.
