What's the deal with all the down votes and no comments? Every time I see post in this sub it's dowmvoted to hell with next to no engagement otherwise.

A lot of the posts seem low-effort, near propaganda level posting. We're talking r/conservative babylonbee type shit.
As for this post? Smith and Wesson are largely disliked for their promotion of a Proud Boys brand formed on Jan 6th under the name Perceeption. That put the gun maker off many enthusiasts list, it's not tolerable no matter how much the company backpedeled - it signaled support for a dark part of our country.
Lemmy is a lefty site, and they really don't like conservatives. So I post, get downvoted, and buried under whatever lefty circlejerk pizzaman posts. The mods have abandoned the community.
Honestly, it feels like Im paddling upstream. I feel like making my own conservative community on lemm.ee, that way I can actually mod it and keep lefty shit off. They have so many communities to post that shit, so why here? Except in bad faith of course.
