Always remember that one internet dweller with 10 accounts can consistently manipulate downvotes to change perspective of certain opinions.
I have OP tagged as vegan douche, lmao
How is that relevant?
They frequently get a fuck ton of down votes for spewing batshit crazy rhetoric.
What aren’t you getting?
I was just asking, fuck. No need to be condescending.
It’s the guy that wrote this a couple months ago when I hurt their feelings.

Well that explains this:
I said I had them tagged as ‘vegan’ douche. Which is context.
They genuinely believe saying someone is a vegan was sufficient context to explain. They’re just a bigot towards vegans.
The funniest thing is that I’m not vegan at all, which shows how fucking stupid they really are.
Lmao, “are the vegans in the room with us right now?”
Your response/question wasn’t exactly neutral in tone. Maybe don’t take a (second) swing here.
Saying you have someone tagged as a douche with zero context “wasn’t exactly neutral in tone” either. Which is why I asked.
I said I had them tagged as ‘vegan’ douche. Which is context.
Also I’m referring to OP in that post, so you know, the context is… The thread were both in.
It wasn’t intended to be neutral in tone. I was clearly making a remark at what’s behind OPs entire posting of this thread. Clearly others had no issue connecting these dots.
You’re 0/3.
Why are you so hostile? I asked a question. That’s it. That’s literally all I did. I’m not a mind reader. All you had to say was “this poster has a history of posting snarky things that get downvoted” when I asked and it would’ve made sense. Not everyone replying to you is attacking you. Not everyone is keeping score. Not everyone is tone policing you. Believe it or not, some people just wanna talk. Some people are just curious when they don’t understand why something was said. Is that so hard to believe? Is that really so hard to believe foggy? That when I asked you how it was relevant I was just curious how it was relevant? That I didn’t have an ulterior motive? That I wasn’t mad? That I wasn’t trying to get you?
The incredible urge I have to downvote this post from all my accounts 😫😫
But honestly I can’t imaginge anyone cares enough to do that do they?
Even my most controversial posts have had maybe a 100 downvotes I wanna say. And that would be for a post with a lot of engagement. Posts with little engagement barely cross 10-15 downvotes even at their most controversial.
One account is ok. Don’t bridge your seperate accounts on non spam topics.
The reason I have more than one account is bc I mod communities from different accounts. So even if one instance is down I can use a different account. Not for interacting with content.
IS IT AS STRONG AS YOUR URGE TO EAT MANGOES??
NOTHING is as strong as my urge to devour mangoes
Or, if it bothers you too much, just join an instance that doesn’t show downvotes.

Fuck fake internet points; I speak my mind.
I’m 38. I ran out of fucks to give nearly a decade ago. Don’t like what I have to say? Don’t read it. Freedom of speech, motherfucker.

I don’t care about downvotes except for one reason. I often wonder if there was something I said that could be a good debate but the person took the easy route. Lost opportunity on both sides, if they had something to really contribute.
One angry conservative downvoting everything all day long, every day.
There is at least one angry liberal downvoting all day too. (Probably more than one in each group). Try to do better yourself. For bonus points (worthless but a great feeling when you can bring yourself to it) up vote a well reasoned arguement you disagree with!
Hell, I love downvotes. It either means I’m wrong and need to check myself, or I made some people really mad. Win win.
Noticing that “or”
Yep. Plus internet points aren’t real
Tell that to the mods on dbzero lol
Never before have I seen a batch of such fragile maniacs.
What did they do? This sounds juicy
Various communities on there, mostly AI themed communities (maybe more) will ban people for downvoting. In their defence, AI across the fediverse is pretty unpopular - so without it they’d be hammered into negatives almost every post.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah stable diffusion and AI art seemed like a core element of their instance a couple years ago. If people are going to their instances community and down voting all AI stuff I’m sure it would ruffle their feathers. It would be like going into a mattress store just to say all mattresses are bad because you don’t care for them. https://p.lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/lemmy.dbzer0.com/13211160?thread=0.8857475#8857475
I mostly appreciate dbzer0 for their piracy, FOSS, and anarchist views. Also I think it’s in their rules that people will be banned for right wing nonsense. I’m not really an anarchist myself, but I would plead the 5th on piracy and always love FOSS projects
People were being banned because they downvoted AI slop as it appeared on their feeds, not seeking it out and downvoting everything.
You guys are getting downvotes?

I literally cannot see downvotes
Yes, and ignoring the popularity of a comment is liberating. That said, I always worry about offending people I actually agree with due to wording. Like, Lemmy is fairly international, plus text can be ambiguous in tone sometimes (and people suffering depression or have various conditions can read neutral as negative or hostile, etc.)
If they comment, I try to clarify things and/or apologize, though. Hurting a nice, kind person (even if a stranger) can bother me for quite a while… Though I suppose they’re not at likely to mass down vote you if they’re kind.
Oh yeah. I don’t normally pay attention but did notice I had one out of no where and then recalled I was in a back and forth with someone who reminded me of typical reddit dwellers. Im sure he likely did the typical reddit go through the users activity and downvote everything that was so common from those types.
Pineapple belongs on pizza
Try Pig’n’Pineapple with pineapple, bacon, ham, sausage, and some BBQ sauce. Pretty damn good pizza. Throw on some onions if you have em lying around too.
Pineapple, bacon, jalapeno is my favorite pizza.
Don’t care for Hawaiian pizza but pineapple on a veggie pizza is fire.
You know, I would have considered this a cardinal sin a decade ago, but it’s actually so good!
I’ll raise the ante a bit, as I’ve been adding salt to my work coffee lately.
I live in a country where nobody would bother disputing it, it seems like such a weird thing to have a disagreement over.
Pineapple on pizza is so fucking good, it makes me wonder what other fruits would be good on it too (besides tomato, obviously). Apples and cinnamon might work. Or maybe lychee and Korean beef?
Somebody needs to do some experiments with different fruits and report back.
Every single one of my posts has at least one downvote. Just the way it is.
More often than not, when I see I’ve been downvoted, I take pride.
It means you’re annoying the right people. Probably.
There is an unending treadmill of people who consistently apply a sprinkling of two or three downvotes on all of my posts (not comments), which at this point I’m convinced are people who don’t understand that Lemmy doesn’t have an algorithm, as such, and think clicking the down arrow means “don’t show me stuff like this in the future.” Which is not how it works.
You don’t get rid of me that easily, in other words.
My instance Blahaj has downvotes disabled, so I just ignore/block things I don’t like and upvote what I do. I like that better honestly.
