Comment on Apple Just Proved They're No Different Than Google
domdanial@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoI would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.
Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)
A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don’t like.
It’s just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.

Sure, then the post just doesn’t need any upvotes, imo.
I find mass down votes on such things to be toxic behavior. And that was just an example on hand. I’ve seen it in other communities too, again, when the news was positive or neutral and fit the community even better than talking about a single web browser in a general tech community.
