      Better yet: on Lemmy it doesn’t matter if you’re right or wrong, support yourself with facts or have someone else do it, admit mistake or not…if what you post isn’t in alignment with the overall masses, it’s jail downvotes.

      It does for sure, but not as often in my experience. Reddit is just entirely full of teenagers now that think the downvote button is a dislike button

      It happened to me when I mistakenly said that people with “ski” endings to their surname are Jewish Poles when it in fact apparently only means they have Polish ancestry and nothing about their religion lol

        FYI: Not only polish ancestry. The suffix -ski (feminine: -ska), has been restricted to the nobility.
