That people agree/disagree?
There's a difference between disagreeing and being disrespectful.
downvoting is a form of expression, to label downvoting as disrespectful based on a narrow definition limits freedom of expression and overlooks the nuances. im a democratic socialist so voting is important to me.
Or you could take the time you explain your opinion.
I'm all for duologue, but there is a voting system, its very accessible more so than typing. Don't you think this is a bit short sited and in reverse should people avoid voting in general good and bad?
You still haven't explained why people shouldn't take "normie" as a pejorative, or why using potential insults is a good thing.
Weird fallback, I dont see this as relevant to our discussion so I won't be explaining "why people shouldn't take "normie" as a pejorative, or why using potential insults is a good thing."
"there’s a difference between disagreeing and being disrespectful."
That's the point I was trying to make.
Someone was getting downvoted for saying people shouldn't use that term.
imho using the term 'normie' and downvoting opinions you disagree with are both rude.
And no one in this thread has explained why I should think I'm wrong.
If we've gone too far from the original intent, I'll say goodbye.
