I take your point, but unfortunately we live in the real world and we have to be realistic.

I'm not arguing whether cars are good or bad for society as a whole.

I'm just saying that if the choice is between internal combustion engines and electric motors, it's a no brainer.

Everyone likes at least some classical music, most people are far too cool to admit it though.

It's a joke. The implication is that the repeated playing of Baby Shark could be considered torture, other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment and punishment.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

It was literally in the reddiquette that you're not supposed to use them like that, but in practice, you're absolutely right and that's how they're used.

Yes I noticed, sorry, bad internet connection, I have deleted them now.

Practically yes, despite the way that they ought to be used.

It's such a shame. Lemmy should be a place where we can collectively share ideas and debate openly. Comments and posts should only ever be downvoted if they're off topic, hateful or misleading. However, in reality people get downvoted mostly because someone simply doesn't like or wholly agree with them.

It's still better here than reddits awful circlejerks and echo chambers, but not by much and we should be wary of devolving to a state where people are disincentivized to post because they have an idea or opinion that may only be slightly off kilter to the hive mind.
