Never let downvotes discourage you from posting

Pineapple belongs on pizza
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.
Don't care for Hawaiian pizza but pineapple on a veggie pizza is fire.
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.
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?
I'm just blocking you at this point. You're ridiculous.
Bruh.
Sit back for a minute and take some deep breaths. Everything is going to be okay. You're getting all worked up over nothing.
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
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.
IS IT AS STRONG AS YOUR URGE TO EAT MANGOES??
NOTHING is as strong as my urge to devour mangoes
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.
I just view downvotes as "these people are not seeing what im seeing". It certainly doesnt chance my mind. I need actual arguments for that.
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.
Never put more of your attention on the downvotes you get vs the upvotes you get.
A handful of downvotes is normal.
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!
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 really hurt some little puke's feelings to the point that they follow me around and downvote.
I love it!
So fucking much!
Edit: I block at least one person a day but usually more, and I think I accidentally blocked whatever lunatic was doing it. I have concluded this because the conspicuous pattern has stopped recently
