    So, I’ve been exploring these comments for the past 30 mins. They honestly make me wonder; are we seeing an echo chamber effect by instance?

    Does Lemmy have any tools to count upvote/downvote by user instances, especially by comment layer. I think I want to dive into this rabbit hole.

      yes. that’s precisely what it is.

      but the problem is… they won’t stay in their echo chamber, and they go rabid when fresh meat accidentally posts over there.

      so you get them on other instances and communities posting their crazypants nonsense and harassing, insulting, and downvoting other users who dare to not be like them.

        There’s a lot of Lemmy.ml too. I got banned from a community for calling them out after they said no one died in the Tienanmen Square Massacre and that Uhygur human rights violations were a hoax.

        You’ll run into can escape it as long as were federated with these.

            The comment is a reply to this meme:

            The meme itself just supports existing socialism, so the opposition to a vague meme is similarly general in target. Further, OP is a frequent transphobe and bigot, you can check OP’s modlog.

              If there is no other context, it does seem like he is implying that all socialism is ruled by dictators. And yes, I’ve seen the modlogs and saw the transphobe comment on just the first page. Quite the icky guy to deal with.

              At the same time, the modlogs also shows I’m still not a fan of how the ml instance does moderation, since some of the comments didn’t seem remove worthy. Ah well, I’ll just tag this guy as a shit-stirring transphobe and move on.
