I don’t know. I mean it is a relevant comment. Is Lemmy supposed to be like Reddit where you only upvote relevant content that contributes to the conversation and downvote irrelevant comments, trolling, etc. It doesn’t mean up/downvote on whether or not you agree. So in that case it’s a matter of interpretation. If you think this person really doesn’t know, then it’s relevant. If you think they’re trolling, then downvote. But even if they are racist, it does contribute that to the conversation and allow for education. Just my opinion on the workings of the community, but that’s how a lot of communities worked in Reddit and was the originally intended functionality if not how it was always used.
