7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! in c/[email protected]

I am super confused by this post.

Yes, there is a huge problem of equality in societies around the world.

I even posted a arricle here that was talking about how the difference in distribution of wealth among families in USA is huge.

Yet the existence of billionaires alone, is not something surprising considering factors affecting the means of production, inflation and many other factors.

In order to be a boring dystopia you need to list the top earners from the middle class or the poor to demonstrate your point.

Otherwise, this post is kind of meaningless in my opinion.

Should I delete my account to use a different server on Lemmy that allows downvotes? in c/[email protected]

The problem is that I don't know if it's worth it.

I want to see the downvotes on my posts, which makes me wonder if it's worth deleting my current Lemmy account and creating a new one on a server that allows downvotes.

You can't force people to be positive, they might still leave negative comments.

Lemmy is still small, so users don't have the option to choose servers as they please. For instance, I'm looking for an instance where you don't need an email to register (for privacy reasons) and where you can quickly create an account (I don't have the patience to wait for days to get my account). Also, it should have a good number of federated servers working with it.

With these specific requirements, there are only a few servers available.

Downvotes discourage reposts more than anything.

I would downvote this comment also if I could, but sadly my instance disable downvotes. (◕‿◕)
