    You seriously think anti-weed (or whatever) lobbyists are being paid to comment on Lemmy? Because that’s what it sounds like you’re implying - discrediting the person for who they supposedly are, not for what they’re actually saying.

      I’m 90% sure that when they said “you yourself”, they actually were referring to Newsom, not to the commenter. I can see how the comment could be taken either way though.

        This decision makes sense to me.

        It only makes sense if you yourself are being paid by lobbyists.

        I can’t read it in any other way than as him calling the previous poster a paid lobbyist.
