  TIL a significant minority of Lemmy/Piefed users like to look at or reserve the right to be able to look at pornography where the actors bear resemblance to children. And the best arguments they have is FReE sPeEcH and iTs NoT iLleGaL.

  Yuk.

  I understand the ease of downvoting, but the lack of well laid out arguments gives this entire platform a very yukkie vibe to me.

    There are at least 3 comments with well laid arguments (hint, they have way more up votes than the post). You have answered to none of them.

      I’ll just quote you to yourself, as we’re pretty much on the same page:

      If you approve someone, you don’t need to explain yourself, you would just say “I agree with this guy”. There’s no substance to it.

      However, if you downvote, you are saying “this is wrong”. Which is much different. When you accuse someone of being wrong, you should explain yourself, otherwise you’re being a dick.

      It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

      EDIT: I’m absolutely in awe that this comment specifically gathered so many downvotes. And this is a good example of what I was referring to. Lots of people downvoted, and 0 ppl said why.

      You may think that those upvotes explain the downvotes, but they really don’t. And they don’t to a small majority of the people, so perhaps you can help out. A good start would be:

      You’re getting downvoted because

      Or

      I’m downvoting your post/comment because

      Or if you feel the upvoted comments are indeed addressing my concern “legal porn that looks like CP is morally extremely questionable and either won’t help the growth of Lemmy or would attract people I rather not associate with”, you can copy paste it.

      I also want to state this is occurring at a time where we are discovering pedophelia run all the way to the white house.

        You went through my comment history and quoted me, to just not read the whole quote.

        Here, I’ll help you:

        It’s fine if someone already answered with what you were going to answer. You can just upvote that guy and move on.

        As I said, there are already 3 top comments explaining to you why you’re being downvoted. I don’t need to explain myself when I mostly agree with them, I just upvote them.

        If everyone had to explain every downvote, we would have hundreds of comments on each post, and most of them would say the same thing.
