Yeah it course corrected a little bit but it did not start out very well. The brainless, misrepresented link dump is the highest voted one. As people pointed out, link dumps like that are straight from alt right playbook. The one reply that called out the issues got removed by mods and it was heavily downvoted initially (actually the timing and amount of upvotes and downvotes in those two comments, and how it evened out makes me think someone was vote manipulating when the link dump was posted). One of the comments from the link dump user was calling the debunker an eugenicist too and that got way too many upvotes off the bat than makes sense to me.

Like I said, there's diversity of opinion but some users, instances have pretty terminally online, black and white opinions that lead to downvote burials. And for a lot of people, that does signal "this is what I should think/this is what I shouldn't think". If it's not the case for you personally, cool. But black and white thinking is so much easier and upvotes/downvotes play right into that.
