  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

So what? If people disagree with your political opinions, learn to care less. Easier said than done, I know, but don’t let people stop you from expressing yourself.

Unless you’re a Nazi. Then you should probably shut up.

In all seriousness I’m with you on this

If your it doesn’t harm yourself or others you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m allowed to think your opinion is stupid and you can think mine is dumb that’s how discussion happens

Absolutely. In the last several weeks, I’ve had more civil, respectful disagreements than I had in years on The Site That Shall Not Be Named. I forgot how nice it is to see thought provoking opinions. Even if my personal opinion on an issue doesn’t change much, it’s great to have a better understanding of other perspectives.

I agree with you disagreeing with my post... wait...

[–] Creyapnilla@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Maybe try posting in the appropriate community? 🤦

Exactly, the past couple days people have been posting politics on /c/memes and expecting everyone to agree with them. They need to start posting on the relevant sub instead.

Or if they want discourse create and start posting on /c/PoliticalCompassMemes

Not like the points mean anything. Are they even tallied up anywhere? I got a bunch of downvotes for accidentally stumbling a moderate comment into a communist instance while on All, so I somewhat identify with the comment, except for the caring part.

wasn't there an anti-communist post that got like 1k+ here? the counter post to it got less I think. I think you just need to go to the right communities man, it's a vast world out there
