What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don't think it's bad behavior in the first place, or don't care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here... One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it's small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do "Top Day" on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don't like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.

Enjoying Apple products.

It’s ridiculous. You don’t even have to enjoy them. You can claim that Apple is a scumbag company doing scumbag things but feature X is kind of nice, and people get so mad. Like even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Some of the other comments mentioned "nuance" as a thing that gets you downvoted, and I think that is related to your comment.

People get up in arms about it because

Superiority complex
Supporting Apple hurts all tech consumers

To further elaborate on number 2, apple is very anti-consumer. They hike prices, overprice upgrades, lock down hardware, prevent repair etc. This spills over to android phones as everybody rushes to copy Apple. People get pretty pissed that their own devices are becoming enshittified due to Apple's success. They then blame and attack apple consumers.

It's not justified at all, but I hope people understand it now. People are pro-consumer, Apple isn't.
