    Thats something entirely different though. Using votes to show disagreement/agreement makes sense as a tool of democratic communication. This goes for comments that contain statements.

    OP describes a “jail” type of usage, where there is nothing to disagree but people downvote amyways (to feel superior maybe), wich sucks cause it reads like hate

    Succesfully iniating this from the fediverse would be such a massive boost in public visibility and discoursive strength of the project of collectivization of information infrastructure (like lemmy).

    Imagine we fluffin freed science from capital and basically all the scientists openly stated how useful this was

    If you seek emancipation of anyone or anything by critique, you should read up what others wrote down, that had or have the same goal.

    Otherwise your are individualistically and egoistically sabotaging the very project you want to contribute to.

    Saying the most edgy thing to feel yourself “being on the right side” will not do good to anyone except yourself.







  • … and the whole point is it shouldn’t need explaining. The emphatic “omg being human is so cringe” doesn’t come with explanations, it’s a mere reflection of the social athmosphere of never beeing enough. It emphatically bends to a zeitgeist that contradicts being human itself (making someone say “having a body is cringe”).

    That might seem subversive or creative, but it isn’t, wich is very out in the open once you shift focus on what such emphasis is emphasizing






  • I understand and totally support that in general. I’m gonna try to explain my point of view.

    In this case we don’t exactly look at policy-making. Between stating that a majority supports governmental action to ban one use plastics and actual policy is a process.

    This process will “forge” the outcome. In it, several conflicting interests will meet/clash and according to the power relations between them, they will be able to enforce their respective will.

    Since the power relations are, let’s say, fucked up, we are constantly seeing how profit of few overrule need of many and overall rational solutions.

    Thats why the criterion “clearness” seems out of place for me at this point. Certanly, before it comes to the actual policy-making, things like the washabillity of surgical equipment will be processed. You will certanly not end up with a dirty scalpel in your body.

    That’s why the scepticism of your initial comment seemed odd to me.

    Don’t know if this should be seen as a given standard, or if we (“average lemmy users”) should disclaim it more often, but I don’t mean to be offensive (even though this format of short message discourse provoces a certain sass). I mean to have meaningful conversation about each others POV’s. That’s somewhat the point of lemmy, imo.
