Comment on F*** You! Co-Creator of Go Language is Rightly Furious Over This Appreciation Email
poopkins@lemmy.world 1 day agoIronic how your comment is downvoted as well. It’s funny to me to observe through platforms like this that most humans are thoughtless pack animals and will just do whatever all the other humans are doing and how discourse goes against our nature. There was a study on Reddit some years ago that found that generally speaking, the first vote determines whether a comment will get up- or downvoted.

I knew it would be downvoted. I guess humans are evolutionarily hard-wired for conformity, because being ostracized from your tribe usually meant death. Considering all of the humans throughout history who were punished for going against the mob, only to later be celebrated, this is a maladaptive trait in many respects.
