    Yes, because comment sections on Lemmy/Reddit/Social Media are a good metric for what happens AFK. We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

    Oh wait…

    I’d suggest going out more and hanging out with real people.

      We saw that when Lemmy/Reddit perfectly predicted the crushing loss of Donald Trump.

      As I recall Lemmy/Reddit was telling people how important it was to vote, because Trump wasn’t guaranteed to lose, and if he wins he’s going to become a dictator.

      Seems pretty accurate to me.

      But you seem to have a pattern of not actually listening to what people are saying so I’m not surprised you got that wrong.

      I think they’re referring to the online experience. Every single post about some “woman who does something intelligent / skillful”, with enough attention (and it doesn’t take much!), will contain guys being absolute shits.

      Seems like the confusion can be attributed to assuming the discussion was limited to “being outside”.

      You’re not from US, but somehow you know what hanging out with real people is like here?
