  • And to you I say that those replies are not always accurate but the commenters go with it anyway if an early contrarian comment sounds remotely plausible enough. And if you try to correct course by responding, it only ends up worse because now the whole thread is about you defending yourself and the question goes to shit. People downvote and stop commenting, or worse, pille on. No thanks.


  • Sure but then I get someone making an unnecessarily critical and destructive comment and my post turns to shit and nobody participates anymore because they’re too fixated on the comment and start down voting the thread instead.

    I recently made a post on AskLemmy and the third guy commenting just started casting doubts on what I shared even though it was an anecdote and it’s something that happens where I live. My story’s sole purpose was to generate interest and get people commenting. But nooo, I can’t do that because what happened is inconceivable in their country so it must be impossible everywhere else! Lemmy always knows best. Fuck it, nuked.
