This is why Quora is so sanitized unlike Reddit: you actually get to see the (alleged) qualification of the OP. I’m not saying this would get to be an appeal to authority, but blatantly contradicting the expert while you’re none of it wouldn’t be so easy to get away with in the other forums

Bro Quora is the most blatantly wrong and idiotic site on the internet

The same happened to me on Lemmy. I brought evidence, they brought anecdotes, and I was the “loser” of the discussion according to the hive

Where?

Everywhere. Just look for anything that goes against (even slightly) the leftist perspective, such as:

  • anything critical of trans people competing in sports - a lot of those policies are bigoted, but there are legitimate concerns
  • evidence that the economy is not as bad as people claim - e.g. cars aren’t more expensive today than they used to be, bottom of the market cars are about the same price as they were 20 years ago, after accounting for inflation (they’re actually a little cheaper in many cases, and have way more tech)
  • arguments criticizing Biden/Democrats
  • anything anti-socialist

And so on. The quality of the argument doesn’t matter, what matters is that it doesn’t fit the leftist agenda, so it gets downvoted like crazy.

Go ahead, try playing devil’s advocate sometime (and don’t say the equivalent of “I’m a leftist, but…”) and cite your sources and see how well your post does vs comments that ignore facts and spout common leftist rhetoric, the lower effort post will get more votes and yours will probably go negative.

Let’s not pretend we’re in any better of a situation. Same exact thing could happen on any Lemmy server, especially since each server is a small fiefdom run by randos.

It’s already happening. People with no clue what they’re talking about starting fights

Like when people start commenting on the near-east conflict. Hardly anyone knows what the fuck is going on there yet we find many experts on the topic in the comments.

Not saying the OP was banned fairly, but to do the devil’s advocate, there’s people with PHD in biology or medicine who still don’t believe in Evolution. You can always find idiots with PHDs, even in their chosen fields.

I’ll go ahead and say OP was probably banned fairly, judging solely by the fact that he willingly posts threads on 4chan

I left Reddit after the fuck spez debacle and haven’t looked back. I occasionally go to reddit through Google for some specific things. But I don’t log in or engage in the content besides reading what I was looking for. And I use my ad blocker so that dickward spez doesn’t get anything from me.

But yeah I suppose this is more about mods. They think they have so much power at the end of they day it’s a fucking forum, that is not much power.
