    You misunderstood me, possibly because you were telling me to go fuck myself on another post. “Assaultpotato” is a voice of reason on this post. People read a news story about the Supreme Court staying an order and now want to impeach the whole Court?

    I’m afraid the politics and news communities hosted on Lemmy servers are falling off the deep end.

      It was one commenter and the following comments rebuking them are much more highly upvoted. It’s maybe a bit early to stick a fork in it.

          Except those who dissented publicly, right? Pretty sure Sotomayor was pretty publicly pissed off at the rest of the court.

            I guess people just don’t like to downvote. Which is outside of my experience, but maybe I am more polarizing.

              Some instances disable downvotes. Certainly not all, but some. I’m not 100% sure if that means they dont count down votes in their communities, or if they dont allow their users to downvote anywhere, but I suspect the latter.

              Personally I reserve downvotes for rulebreaking, offensive comments, spam, things of that nature. Differences of opinion I just don’t upvote. Perhaps this is more common on Lemmy than other places.
