    This thread is literally the difference between someone who knows what they talk about getting downvoted because people don’t like facts and someone who doesn’t know they talk about getting upvoted because they appeal better to emotions.

    Social media has ruined us.

      “What could the overwhelmingly technically skilled audience of Lemmy possibly know about electronics repair and embedded programming?”

      Huh I wonder where the downvotes are coming.

      Yeah, Lemmy is usually pretty tech savvy, so this is kind of surprising.

      It’s “some basic evidence and appeals to do some research to change your view” versus “I don’t think so and car manufacturers are just bad” with no real counter argument

      So much of Lemmy is this way, and I guess most of social media. I expected more from the Lemmy crowd.
