Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you wrote on Reddit, but from what I read, there was nothing even remotely offensive. You simply provided information. Downvoting you for that is just silly.

The downvotes you're getting here on Lemmy for your comment are equally baseless (current status: 0). It just shows that some people have enough energy to downvote, but not enough to engage in a discussion. Maybe they should save that energy for something more constructive.

Some newspaper forums require identity verification (through paid subscriptions, social media accounts, etc.). These forums are generally much more civil - and we all know why.

Which Lemmy downvotes?

I got banned temporarily (but actually permanently) from TheGuardian for posting newspaper articles reporting on evidence that Assange's Swedish alleged rape victims boasted about their sexual encounter on Twitter and SMS (which bus lawyer submitted as evidence). No commentary from me.

I got banned from r/worldnews without warning because I posted an article by Seymore Hirsch suggesting that the NordStream pipeline was sabotaged by USA themselves. The only commentary there was to add that he is a respectedjournalist who exposed the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam.

I had a comments deleted on Lemmy WorldNews because the Mod did not like my politics. At least I wasn't banned.

Friends have set up a private forum and server which is a solution however it doesn't have much activity. Those in our circle are too attracted to popular socials instead it seems.
