Were you active on Lemmy earlier this year? It was pervasive. I don't mean posts detailing why you shouldn't vote, I mean tons of comments saying that if you voted Democrat this election, you supported genocide.
I'm just not sure if it stopped because their contracts ended or because the ruble tanked in value.
Yeah, I believe that too. That isn't the same as telling people not to vote. If you believe you have to vote for genocide to stop a greater genocide then more power to you, but you aren't allowed to pretend you didn't vote for genocide.
Maybe you didn't know this, but the election ended.
Ya know what, you're right! Shaming people for voting is not the exact same thing as directly instructing them not to vote. That is a super important distinction that absolutely changes their role in getting other people not to vote.
It also seems I was wrong about those commenters disappearing after the election. It was my fault to assume that they had a solution to propose. I wasn't considering how hard that would be to find in total darkness with their heads up their asses.
You've defeated me on a technicality so now I must leave this conversation. Farewell!
The person you're talking to was one of the biggest voices of this shit before the election.
Yeah, fuck them.
