    I didn’t downvote you, just in case.

    I don’t know if it’s my app or what, but Lemmy tends to show the latest comment first, then it shows the rest sorted by votes.

    And the latest comment is usually unreviewed and is as dumb as you would expect.

    So, pay no attention to those people, friend.

      So, pay no attention to those people, friend.

      I’ve been on boards since a few years before Reddit was a thing.

      I get my entertainment from “those people” quite often in fact. Arguing them is often infuriating, but also somehow deeply hilarious.

      Thanks tho, but I wasn’t sorting by latest according to the timestamp. Edit no wait maybe I was.

        No, I meant that even though you sort by most relevant, Lemmy still shows you one single unmoderated comment first. Kinda strange, but it is what it is.

        Oh yeah, I’m also part of the old guard. I don’t take those people seriously either. Although sometimes I’ll reply just to warn other more naive readers if the comment is wildly inaccurate or dangerous. For example, if someone says “drink bleach to combat covid,” I’ll reply “To anyone reading this. Don’t listen to that troll. Drinking bleach will kill you!”
