      I’m happy to talk with people about difficult or sensitive subjects, but throwing around downvotes doesn’t encourage good dialog.

        Homie, you want to talk to 16 strangers disagreeing with you? O.o

        Be glad that most people just vote and don’t comment.

        The subject isnt sensitive when some refers to wokeness.

        Its the little bitch that cant handle reality that is sensitive imo.

          i want lemmy to be a constructive place where people are not chased away. The habit of the downvote culture here is not helping lemmy grow.

            Don’t post stupid shit and you won’t get downvoted, it’s simple

            Engagement is engagement, if you don’t like that your opinions aren’t agreed with: tough titties, learn to deal with it or stop posting

              Your position implies that only people you agree with are able to have a civil discussion, and it’s impossible to discuss anything that there is any disagreement on.

              These attitudes slow the growth of lemmy.

                Nope, you can have civil conversation AND downvote someone, I do it all the time

                Not with you, though, cuz you get butthurt when the number isn’t positive. That’s a you problem, turn off votes if you can’t handle them

        Most of Lemmy is far left and very sensitive. You’d have a better time having a meaningful discussion on /r/Politics than here.
