minus-squaresamus12345@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoIf I give any kind of opinion I can understand downvotes on a comment of mine, but the totally innocuous ones that get downvoted are always funny.
minus-squareKillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 days agoi think it’s just herd mentality.
