    Yes, because comment sections on Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media are a good metric for what happens AFK. We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

    Oh wait…

    I’d suggest going out more and hanging out with real people.

      We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

      As I recall Lemmy/Reddit was telling people how important it was to vote, because Trump wasn’t guaranteed to lose, and if he wins he’s going to become a dictator.

      Seems pretty accurate to me.

      But you seem to have a pattern of not actually listening to what people are saying so I’m not surprised you got that wrong.

      I think they’re referring to the online experience. Every single post about some “woman who does something intelligent / skillful”, with enough attention (and it doesn’t take much!), will contain guys being absolute shits.

      Seems like the confusion can be attributed to assuming the discussion was limited to “being outside”.
