They have nothing in common though, so how does that work? Unless Andrew Yang has sold out or something.

Andrew Yang is the guy who really needs to do the third party thing. I know he tried, but it hasn’t accomplished a lot.

I’m much more irritated for example with the mods who decided UniversalMonk was a force for good in the universe, who must be protected at all costs

Much like a delicate flower, I do need to be protected at all costs. Thanks for noticing, friend!

then analyze the voting behavior of the accounts

How do you do that? I’m noticing much more downvoting bots lately.

The bot creators were probably just testing the waters to make sure it works. I’ve been a victim of vote-manipulation bots; they downvote attacked me. So glad to see people are trying to get a handle on this.

Thanks for this! I am noticing more and more vote manipulation bots on Lemmy. Annoying af, so you’re awesome for researching that!

Truth! Lemmy is very anti-crypto, but it has a lot of advantages in socialist and anarchist circles. Sometimes Lemmy just hates anything that is popular, because they think it means “rich.”

Even tho the average Lemmy poster makes more than the average Americans wage.

Yeah, well I have been lucky, but I always cash out early. But it’s hard for me not to just be all in all the time! I do love watching the stands and the news about it though.

Greed has altered the course of life many times over.

I continually fight this myself. I made a fair amount of profit in crypto, but I 100 percent realize that it’s just blind luck. I like the idea of it and I love the news about it, so it’s very difficult for me to not to go 100 percent in every time I see a trend!

So far, I’ve resisted the urge to go to crazy with it, but ugh, it’s tough . And I lie to my gf and tell her that I just follow, but don’t invest. So I’m pretty much the kind of asshole that I grew up despising. lol

I’ve never invested more than I can afford to lose, and cash out the minute I make a little profit. But I can see how addicting it is and how easily some people could fall off the cliff.

Yep!

Da fuq? Is everyone in this thread on meds? As someone who has only ever taken aspirin and the occasional cold relief, these comments are wild to me.

You all list meds as casually as a pharmacist. Lol

Nah, I didn’t. I voted third party. Remember? That’s why you were so mad and bragged about writing a program to track me.

Meh, I didn’t vote for Trump. So don’t blame his election on me, friend. Thanks!

Well, I certainly didn’t sit out. I voted.

I just didn’t vote for the person .world wanted me to vote for. :)

Its kinda exhausting how many people take any criticism of the democratic party as being support for Trump,

Exactly!

I hate how quick world is to mass downvote, accuse of being a russian troll, or just straight up remove comments from people who express any sort of actual left-wing opinion

They’ll actually form packs of downvoters to team up and track you to downvote. I’d get downvoted in .world, then every single post after that, even my non-political/non-controversial ones would get massively downvoted.

One guy even wrote a program tracking me, then publicly offered it to others to track and downvote me. (thanks @pooperNickel@lemm.ee)

All because I voted third party in the election!! lolololol
