EDIT: this was a test. This comment is a copy of an original comment on this post. This copy received 90% downvotes while the original received 36% downvotes. This is evidence that the majority of Lemmy would not give money to help a homeless person despite being an ultra liberal (democrat, not leftist) social media platform. Hmm…

Did you really think that people wouldn’t realize that you copied the other comment? Of course you’ll be down voted.
