Idk, never cared to check. How do you find out without using the inbox?

The topic was “What band has the most annoying fans?”, and the Manowar fandom found my comment.

“Do people only like racing games for the graphics” it was in r/pcmr I think got me down to negative triple digits, learned that day asking why someone likes something is bad.
People get real salty about Steam’s monopoly.
And of course anything short of picking one camp and saying they did nothing wrong, vis-a-vis Gaza.
Oh, and not being a tankie on ML. I’m not looking that shit up. Half of it’s removed by mod for honesty about Russia or China, and the other half involves people I should have blocked much sooner. (Alright, this exchange was amusing.)
Wading into the GameStop cult was fun.
Wait no I found my lowest total score: MOBA players screeching about what they’d like to pretend I said.
The steam this is really funny when you realize they were the first to popularize the idea of an App Store and being a middleman.
Previously there were many “stores” but they only listed apps and left it up to the developer to distribute and handled the payment system.
There were separate payment providers that took a cut but nothing approaching 30%, it was often a flat fee plus 2-3% to cover the credit card processing cost.
Steam created the app industry and somehow Apple takes all the heat.
The only thing Apple added was an option to charge as little as $1. The fee on those independent providers was $1+ by itself.
Still no idea what the fuck happened here.

I bet it was something about the Israeli - Palestine conflict
Back during its peak, I posted “White supremacy is bad” in a goobergate-aligned sub. Admittedly, I knew I was kicking a hornet nest but watching all those manboy shitheads climb over each other to call me slurs, ironically scream “triggered” in my metaphorical face, and make “literally Hitler” jokes while smugly tipping their fedoras was deeply satisfying.
I can’t remember the last time one of my comments was downvoted.
Got you man. Now you know.
This one
Downvoted, let’s make this happen!
I’ve never been majorly downvoted. Most I’ve got was around minus 30 on reddit cos I said something feminist.
-50ish
Someone was talking about how the would would be different if women were fertile for 1 month of the year and gave off a scent that makes me lust after them.
And I pointed out how horrific that would be for women.
On a thread about putting catsup on hotdogs in Chicago:
If the customer is wrong and wants to ruin a perfectly good sausage, yes I will object!
Look, if I was an art dealer, and someone wanted to buy an original by one of the Dutch masters and then put catsup on it, I would refuse to sell it to her.
In Chicago, sausages are fine art.
God downvoting is weird. Were they offended by your sausage beliefs? Passionately pro ketchup? Bizarre
passionately pro-catsup, believe it or not

I once posted to a collapse/mental health subreddit shortly before the Reddit API changes. I was dealing with a lot of stuff personally on top of helping a friend deal with a former friend/coworker who was being a total creep towards her. I needed to vent and was sharing my experiences on that subreddit.
Half of the comments were a mix of support, thankfulness for the actions I had taken or thankfulness of simply acknowledging what women go through.
The other half… I was being called names and was accused of spreading hate speech. The moderator, a woman, spoke up and every angry commenter piled on to her since she was a woman.
Over 200 up votes and over 100 down votes in a 24 hour period. The moderator deleted my post and messaged me directly to apologize. She told me I broke no Reddit rules or subreddit rules but she feared her subreddit would be taken down by all the threats about spreading hate speech. I had no issue with her decision, I didn’t want her hard work to be taken away and I already had my chance to vent.
So my last post and interaction on reddit was removed due to hate speech for acknowledging women and their experiences. Wild.
Leaving reddit was pretty fucking easy after that.
Yep! Manosphere types love to see themselves as oppressed, and hate women being acknowledged as victims
I had been on reddit since the Digg exodus. My last Reddit account was 6 years old with less than 50 comments total. I guess because I curated my own list of subreddits where I lurked that I was quite insulated from that type of behaviour.
It was quite the shock to me when I got such a hostile reaction. It shouldn’t have been such a surprise, the signs were always there. I was there the entire time. Experiencing that post and reaction really grounded me to the reality of who used Reddit and why other people had such a negative view of Reddit users.
Yep reddit can get really horrible sometimes. It’s just astonishing I’ll bet they’d never speak to anyone IRL like that! What was the digg exodus about? I wasn’t on reddit back then
Digg and the mass exodus happened a long time ago so I could be wrong at parts. The very simple story is that Digg stopped allowing most people to submit links or something like that. I think they wanted to curate their own links instead of user submitted content.
Since Digg took away what made it popular, most people migrated to Reddit which at the time was more tech/developer focused.
Reddit filled the gap quite well and was more proactive about freedom of expression and knowledge. That slowly faded as time went on and it’s userbase grew. Throw in a few controversies and we have the Reddit of today.
That’s one of the reasons why leaving for Lemmy was so easy. I have seen it happen before. I’m already one foot out the door with Lemmy. PieFed has been making amazing progress and I know there’s interest and progress in making a migration tool for Lemmy communities/instances to switch over.
Yep history has a habit of repeating itself
I largely just ignore the inbox lol. Way more trouble than it’s worth
