I legitimately don't know what you're trying to say or why it's relevant.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?

Read your own pull quote.

I would fuck with that sub Lemmy. I got into an argument and they deleted every single comment I made in another separate post, even though it was at +14. Idk if they're tankies or punks, but they both quacking to me.
You have 16 upvotes there though.
There are 12 downvotes that I guess your instance/client doesn’t show, making it a 2:1 up/down ratio. Sure it’s not downvote oblivion, but much less favorable than here, as I said, in the “progressive” politics community, to boot. I also know at least a few people upped it when I posted the above comment.

Whether it's currently sage advice is debatable.
