      This isn’t reddit where they inflated the upvotes. You all control if something gets pushed through to the lemmy servers homepage or not.

        reddit doesn’t inflate the upvotes lol. they, for years, deflated the votes to make smaller communities appear bigger compared to the main subs.

            That’s not the same as inflating scores, and that’s what the feature is designed to do, make smaller communities more visible. The didn’t remove hot or rising to make it either. This is a wild conspiracy you’ve manufactured here, considering they explained why they made these changes when they made them.

            Cool story bro. You think you can hide behind the concept of “I’m just giving the people what they want”, but you can’t. You can post this trash. But unlike reddit, you can also get called out and shamed in the comments and there are no power mods here to protect you (yet).

            I don’t want this to be reddit. You are behaving like a redditor and attracting people I don’t want here. So now you get hear about it.

              I’m acting like the moderator of this community who is trying to grow the community with content people want to discuss and share.

          I understand I just think your argument is weak for it. You are telling someone to self censor news they post and you could just as easily self censor news you read.

          If it’s such a trigger topic for you that you lash out on someone posting news about it then maybe you need to self evaluate and make better choices about what news you take in.

            the problem isn’t the news i as an individual am reading. you do not understand the problem.

              I understand, I just dont think it is the “problem” you seem to think it is.

                  I’ve been around the past 8 years. I’m just not trying to bury my head like an ostrich because I cant control what I read.

                  I get the argument that we shouldnt be revering these people by continually discussing them. But my beliefs are more along the lines that history should be discussed and the action of these people should be discussed so it stays in the forefront and people know.

          Cool, I mean as long as you are not implying OP should delete his post because you dont like it then I wont tell you that you could also just not to open it.
