Big tech industries are hiding downvotes, which obfuscates the true value of shared content in the eyes of the users. I was excited to see Lemmy natively going against this trend, and saddened to see that it's not featured in sync (yet?).
The misinformation campaigns are massive, the astroturfing is massive, and is probably happening even here. It is too cheap and works too well to not do it.
Yes, the power of stories is incredible - and human's likeliness to believe stories over facts, setting aside critical thinking over immediate feelings. Ref. Yuval Noah Harari.
