Oh god I wish there is a downvote button here.

yeah that's one major downside to lemmy. Forced to see these sort of braindead takes lol

It's up to the instance admins to choose if they want to present the downvote button. Use another instance.

Honestly, I kind of like if. Stops it from becoming an echo chamber. Refreshing to hear pure, unhinged lunacy, too.

r/conservative is still up and Twitter still exists. I don't need to see that crap here too.

[–] bdiddy@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

lol. I mean yeah I get what you are saying, but I know these people exist already because our own politicians are saying the same thing.. Completely ignoring the indictment and that this is just an attack blah blah.. Yet they wont comment on the actual charges. Sad really. Good chance for everyone to talk about how justice will prevail one way or the other through our justice system and that no one is above the law. Instead they are literally saying that the ex president is literally above the law. Need a RL downvote button

I'm using Jerboa and I have a downvote button. I haven't used the browser version much. Does it not have one?

Depends on the instance.

Here's a list of instances and what capabilities they have enabled:
