Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I really only check when I think somebody has engaged in the extremely poor behavior of responding to my comment and also downvoting. Actually, most of my comments don't get any downvotes.

I'm hoping that by embarrassing people who do this, they'll be less likely to do it in the future. If most of Lemmy agreed to condemn this behavior, then it will improve the platform. But as you can see from the votes in this thread, there are A LOT of people who absolutely don't give a shit about the quality of discussion on the platform.

I think you're engaging in extremely poor behaviour by whining about downvotes.

I will never tire of piling downvotes onto someone complaining about the tiniest and least important criticism of what they've said.

Get a grip. Have some perspective.

Anyway, you're wrong.

You are literally whining while complaining about whining, David. And you're engaging in the exact same behavior that I'm complaining about. These are the actions of an extremely stupid hypocritical bully. But don't worry. You won't get any more responses out of me because I block bullies.

Wow, downvoting you and explaining why is "bullying" but downvoting you and engaging in debate is "extremely poor behaviour".

Now with the insults. Also the lack of engagement on the real issue:

You’re wrong. From the start.
