Why is this downvoted? I'm not a huge fan of BRICS either but this is certainly news worthy

[–] ActuallyASeal@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No idea. I can see not up voting it. I think it's a bit of a non-story. Country looks to maybe join a group containing it's some of it large trading partners. This group might or might not do something on the future. Only interesting bit is it's the BRICS.

But a down vote just feels unnecessary. The story is factual. The source is fine. It might be relevant to someone.

It's not maybe joining, it's definitely joining.

I see 11 up 2 dow. There’s always gonna be about 10-30% downvotes.

I forgot that federation means vote counts can be different for different instances. On mine it was sitting at -2 when I posted my comment

I see. Ya that makes sense. I forgot about that too.

Why is this downvoted?

It is imperative to keep pretending that BRICS expansion is just a nothing-burger and de-dollarization isn't happening, otherwise some people's entire worldview crumbles.

Rediquette is making its way to Lemmy apparently.

Can't wait for the neolib astroturfing to make it's way here too
