Tbf. It’s not exactly the first time large companies/corporations decided to burn other companies down if legally allowed with little to no consequence when possible to reduce competition.

The one benefit of Lemmy is that you can see the total upvotes and down votes. So if a comment has 5k up votes, you’ll also see that it has 4k down votes.

Rather than 1k up votes like on reddit. This makes it far easier to see if bullshit is being spewed rather than just bot spammed up votes as often. It makes bots less effective imo. But what do I know, I’m no social media developer lmao

This. It’s why I hope we don’t have any sort of Karma system on Lemmy.
