Quite the opposite actually, otherwise lemmy will just devolve into another echo chamber, just like Twitter has, and most social media sites. The down votes I got simply for bringing up points that might happen to not fit the hive mind mentality are just as common here obviously, even when expressing up front that I don’t actually believe those points.

Amazing how fragile some people are, so filled with hatred over a billionaire that lives rent free in their head and doesn’t even think about them at all that they downvote a discussion simply because it might bring up valid points they hadn’t considered in their knee jerk reaction.
