          Let’s be a bit more constructive than this. If you’d like to point out flaws – and there are many – in the U.S. voting system, by all means, go nuts.

          Beeing personally dismissive is another story. Don’t do this on Beehaw. I enjoy snide one-liners as much as the next guy, but, you know, keep it civil?

              You were directly mocking another user. Regardless of how you view that or whether you agree, we don’t do that here. I’d strongly advise you to take the lesson and not triple down.

                  Whether I’m in any position of power is irrelevant in a small Lemmy instance. What I’m saying is your behaviour is consistently misaligned with our ethos. As I said, just learn from this, and all is well.

                  Our only rule is to Bee Nice. Once you get to know people here, you can of course be a sarcastic prick, but it’s the same rules as real life … you can’t just talk to a stranger as though they were your best mate.

                  This really isn’t a high bar.

          You mean like you just did?

          What?

          Haha no.

          Okay, so you’re saying that voting is how we change things. Which means that the government is directed by voting. I think there’s a term for that…
