Lemmy folks don’t even read the article or watch the video in the title, they just react. Several of my anti-casteist news articles posted on /c/india@lemmy.ml, were down-voted to oblivion.
I mean, we’re in the Linux community not a gun rights community. Downvotes should be used when the post doesn’t match the community, which applies here.
Right, but this kinda has nothing to do with Linux. So I can understand why he didn’t want it here. I’m for openly discussing topics, but it should be on topic. Even if he talks a little bit about Linux, I feel like it’s just an excuse to post it everywhere about Linux, which is pretty much everywhere.
Because political discussions on the internet are usually performed without proper seriousness of the action and have hidden negative (usually minor though) and destructive consequences to the members’ and the viewers’ psychological health. They also make the world overall more aggressive and separated which has never caused anything good. Therefore, spreading political discussions like this is a contribution to aggression and general evilness which is a questionable move. It’s not like I’m judging you though. I know most of the people that do it just don’t know about it and want to have fun or get popular. Doing this in questionable ways is not great but that’s another topic. I don’t wanna write a speech here lol (and it’s not like I can either)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
In case this isn’t clear, I do not support the opinion stated in the video. Might have been misleading.

Don’t think downvotes should be a thing tbh. Just enforces majority opinion even when it’s wrong.
Some instances like Hexbear, Reddthat and Blahaj have downvotes disabled though.
If you don’t like user-voted content you shouldn’t be on Lemmy
I stopped watching DT long time ago. This is proof it was the right decision.
I bursted into laugjter when he started pulling out an actual arsenal of weapons. It was very unexpected.
as much as I love guns, why the fuck was this posted here?
“DistroTube” is a Linux channel, as you might guess.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Yea but the statements about downvotes and arguments are applicable everywhere tbh
May i ask what you believe the downvote is for?
That’s a mature person’s comment right there
I watched the video that’s why I downvoted, he says that states with no gun rights are communist states…
Please don’t post political stuff here. It won’t cause anything except empty destructive arguments
EDIT: oh and it’s also against the community’s rules
Why’s that? Everything is political.

Everything is not political. Puppies in flowers are not political.

this is an egregiously childish view of the world.
Well since it’s a political post, go prove why aggression is better. I’m listening carefully
He should stick to Linux distros and his emacs stuff. This kind of content isn’t appropriate for him or representative of his channel really.
I think he learned from this,cause this is a rather old video and I no longer see any other sort of content like it on his channel.
What you dont like open source guns?
I don’t know who this asshole is and I don’t care.
But he appears to be a totally stable individual!
We don’ like ya system dee types 'round here. * cocks a Gnu/Gun *
This got me!!! I love his accent. XDXDXD
Don’t let me catch you with a desktop environment. * points Gnu/Glock with no attachments (optional dependencies are bloat).
