Question about instances

You didn't raise any better point, right?
So what is there to cope and seethe?

Yes, downvotes are not really a big deal, especially in lemmy.
You don't need to seethe at the downvotes.

Np and I can see that you've gotten an introduction to the political culture war that's being waged on lemmy (assuming you weren't already aware). Lol

One more piece of info that I wished someone had given me when I first started is that a huge majority of lemmings are cool; but there are significantly more center-right users than leftist users so you'll see more of the vitriol you witnessed in this post coming from the center-right instances like lemmy.world and lem.ee, but the leftists are a scrappy bunch so they'll respond in kind and mostly from hexbear; hence the defederations.

Ah gotcha. I guess people will be people but I wish it wasn't so easy to divide us so we could work to common good and change but I know that's just a dream.
