Lmao that onyx guys comment is at -18

And protons reply:

I believe this is a false equivalence. Supporting a nominee for antitrust, is not the same as endorsing everything else Trump may or may not believe in or flirting with Nazism as you put it. It goes too far to draw that conclusion about Proton or myself.

They just dont get it

What the echo chamber of reddit doesnt have critical thinking? Well I never...

Looks like Lemmy is just as bad. I wish the mods would get in here and temp ban some folks who dont understand lemmyquite

Lemmy.world is the worst offender I have come across personally. Lemmy.ml is reddit like too, but it's mostly okay for discussion and it hosts a lot of posts so I don't really want to block it.

I'd recommend looking at the instance those folks are coming from. You may notice some similarity with those users.
