    It saddens me that you are being downvoted for providing a detailed factual report from an authoritative source. I apologise in the name of all Lemmy for these ignorant people

      Ya, most upvotes and downvotes are entirely emotionally driven. I knew I would get downvoted for posting all this. It happens on every forum, Reddit post, and Lemmy post. But downvotes don’t make the info I share wrong.

        Just post the sources first, arguing emotionally with ‘trust me bro’ should get the exact response it’s gotten.

          I posted my sides across many comments. But the same argument applies to everyone saying the opposite.
