Anon dislikes reddit

Who the fuck actually votes on posts? Regardless of the forum.

This is clearly fake. If it had really happened at least one person would have called them a slur and downvoted their entire post history, then they would have been permabanned from 7 different subreddits.

This happens on Lemmy as well.

You see, the problem is that you're genuinely concerned by virtual points

Once the hive mind takes over and the downvote train starts it’s all but impossible to turn your post positive regardless of contrition. It’s unfortunate because it removes some incentive to publicly self-correct.

If you are attached to whether you’re attracting downvotes or upvotes you are setting yourself for disappointment for no reason. Just say your thing.

Yep, it's one of the most annoying thing about the site.

I hated downvotes on Reddit because like merely 5 would silence all anti honeymoon's sentiment. This place, your can have a million downvotes but the comment is still there so i just count em as engagement points. Someone felt strongly, that means i wrote something worth reading in a way

That's something to appreciate about Lemmy. People can destroy you while you hold a position they think is wrong, but as soon as you change your mind they are friendly.

EDIT: usually

If I remember the ancient days correctly, you were supposed to downvote incorrect info so it wouldn't appear at the top? You weren't supposed to downvote if you disagreed but if it was wrong info? Am I hallucinating that?

Anyone still check on Reddit? It's getting pretty conservative over there.

If I give any kind of opinion I can understand downvotes on a comment of mine, but the totally innocuous ones that get downvoted are always funny.

Lemmy isn't immune, I had a recent encounter that rubbed me wrong recently in a redditish way. It's quickly gone downhill here, I'm sure before too long, just like reddit I'll turn to lurk only then go away as the posts themselves become mostly intolerable.

worldwide skill issue...the devil has a silver tongue

I finally managed to cop a permanent ban. I've been running around telling every dick head moderator what I think of them for the last year

Do it, coward. You'll only be downvoting a man

yeah thats most of the internet for you.

Unless you're shitposting, or actually on a good topic, it's an absolute clusterfuck of a place.

"I posted incorrect information and then people downvoted it, so now people can't see the incorrect information I posted! This site is horrible!"

Sounds like it's working as advertised. Don't post incorrect info if you don't like downvvotes. Upvotes mean "more people should read this." Why do people need to read you being wrong? How is that a good contribution?

> caring about downvotes

mfw when 🥱

Transcendence is not giving a fuck and being confidently wrong.

Honestly though, part of it. Internet weirdos gonna internet weirdo. Source : am internet weirdo

It's always the insecure people that give a shit about down votes.
