    One drawback of Lemmy is the notable tendency for people to use the downvote button as “I don’t like what this says”

      it’s at least partially to do with the poster, isn’t it? this guy is posting any and all Biden concern troll pieces, around the clock, and it’s rather exhausting.

        Hot take of the day: You’re probably right in this case, but the label of “concern troll” generally does more harm than good because its liberal application often has the effect of stifling genuine conversation. It makes more sense to engage each such person genuinely taking the argument on the merits rather than simply labelling the source as “concern troll”.

        Not saying OP isn’t, but just something I’ve been wanting to say for a while. More than once (on Reddit) people have falsely labelled me as a concern troll.

      No, the downvote is that this poll is pure propaganda produced by a Catholic institution.
