It's useful to note that there exists Lemmy servers where down votes are not processed. So the high up vote to down vote ratio isn't necessarily a reflection of people not down voting, it's potentially a reflection of the servers that allow down votes along with all other servers (generally they all allow up votes).

As my sister who is a MT always said: "A massage therapist gives you a massage, a masseuse gives you a happy ending."

I can't believe I know this, but RubMaps used to (might still be?) a thing. If you looked at the outside of them on Google Maps you could very quickly start to pick up on the patterns among the listed locations.

We've finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it's a more popular platform.

They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

People absolutely think something about it when it happens, and hell sometimes the government even does something about it (as demonstrated in the article you linked). Just a whole lot of us would argue they don't do enough about it.

Oh but didn't you know that's just a slippery slope argument and he's really just a cool dude and who doesn't encourage hate or violence? /s

A whole lotta people in this thread who don't want to acknowledge that this dude is trash, no matter how good or bad their music is.

I made it pretty clear he's a terrible person, just for many, many other reasons that are far easier to argue.

Defending a pedophile doesn't make one a pedophile. That's the stretch I'm arguing against.

I can't believe I'm defending Stallman here. He's got so many other reasons to be hated.

Richard Stallman is a bad person but I don't think we need to make stuff up to prove that. He's said he's fine with child pornography (as long as it's consensual) and might have favorable views on pedophilia (that may have since been backtracked) but that doesn't make himself a pedophile.

Just a misunderstood crazy person.

Yes. It partially makes sense because you could screw the new congresspeople who aren't corrupt with hidden income sources into not being able to afford their living situation, which could become a really bad point of leverage for awful people. I believe their staff goes without pay though.
