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.

Pretty much anything anti-American or pointing out hypocrisy of the West. And just like Reddit, it gets removed and silenced often. Or just downvoted to oblivion and then name calling.

Lemmy is very much like Reddit in the sense that it is "one of us... One of us.... One of us"

What part of lemmy gets you downvoted for being Anti-american? I've pointed out dumb US shit plenty of times without getting downvoted.

[-] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world -4 points 8 months ago

All over. Lots of American political questions where when the US does somethings it's super awesome F-yeah. And then when an "enemy" of the US does the exact same thing, it's the all about bombing them to oblivion for having dared go against Uncle Sam.

As someone who is very global and been a victim of the US systems before, it's pretty annoying. But completely expected. Oh well.

To be honest I see wayyyyyyy more anti-US posts and comments rather than pro-US.

Then name calling

Pot, meet kettle.

You make vague points, refuse to elaborate, insult people, then come and whine and cry in another thread about being downvoted for it?
