    Sometimes someone just doesnt like a specific content. No need to try and please everyone, just like people dont have to hold back on downvoting to not hurt someones feelings. Thats how it works.

    Sometimes when I’m scrolling I accidentallu bump a vote button because that’s just where my thumb sits. I reverse it when I catch it but I’m willing to bet I don’t always catch it.

    Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don’t see upvotes or downvotes.

    Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn’t even show you your total upvotes (karma… whatever it’s called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.

    So why don’t you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.

    I know I have.

    (Lemmy is rad as fuck)

      I find it interesting to see which comments get general approval and which arent liked. Helps paint a picture of lemmy as a group.

        it’s pretty hard to paint a general picture of lemmy when, more often than not, one instance is drastically different from the other.

    I accidentally downvote when I scroll. I’m sorry, everyone. I undo it when I notice.

    I get that some people are sensitive about this but I can’t imagine posting on forums like this if downvotes bother you or you think about the mean reply you got for more than 3 minutes. That sounds terrible. If that were the case, I think I would only post if I had some really burning question I couldn’t find the answer to. There’s a bunch of lunatics on here and to prove it I’m admittedly one of them. Please don’t pay too much heed to the opinions of random freaks on the internet. Even 50 downvotes doesn’t necessarily mean you are “wrong” here.

    I switched to a Lemmy app which doesn’t show Downvotes because of this dude.

    I often explain. Usually it’s spelling or ‘literally’. I get downvoted for it.

    You’ve apparently never said anything the Cheney Dems on .world or CCP worshippers on here dislike. I get mass downvoted every time I mention an inconvenient truth for either group. (cue the downvotes, I THRIVE on this shit you fucking party line sheep, make my day)
