context also heavily welcome.
“context is important”
I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.
I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that’s the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that’s all I know
I’ve been to a private school, and it sucked. this is just my (German) experience though. so I would’ve probably down voted you as well.
I posted that the new Twitter logo looked like a broken image icon.
That was a weird week. Every post I had ever made, going back to the day I registered my account, got dozens of downvotes. I figure someone with dozens of accounts used me as a test case for one-man-brigading.
Went to your account and sorted comments by Controversial. I see what you mean. Your most downvoted comments seem really benign.
I don’t see any way of ordering my comments by vote totals so no idea.
Sort by Controversial
yeah I don’t see that either. might be an mbin thing to not have it.
i found you this banger: https://moist.catsweat.com/m/[email protected]/t/581461/-/comment/4862542
kamala was not pro corporate.
Im not surprised. My comments around defending democrats or liking better things over worse things at a guess would be my most downvoted. I don’t pay attention to communities when I post to so im sure some get piled on.
@[email protected] I can’t check it neither as a MBin user(Don’t have a “controversial” button), but considering my pfp, you can probably imagine what’s it about
I am not sure. A mod already deleted it and I don’t care enough to look it up. Probably some dumb shit I wrote while being on autopilot.
On reddit. I think it was a comment about how DLSS was going to make devs lazy and optimize their games less because DLSS would do the work for them. People thought I was crazy.
Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.
I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.
Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.
But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.
These phrases activate my cringe neurons so hard even though the people writing them are probably really nice.
“alwayshasbeen.jpg/surprisedpikachu.png”
“play stupid games win stupid prizes”
“they fucked around found out”
“but why tho?”
“por que no los dos?”
it’s like, you felt an urge to comment something but didn’t want to commit to engaging with your own words and ideas so my brain blurs it as essentially spam.
“bootlicker”
“the cruelty is the point”
Never fails to get upvotes around here, even if the context is wildly inappropriate.
You cruel bootlicker!
(Am I doing it right?)
yes! i was trying to think of more.
“rules for thee but not for me”
“checks notes/shuffles deck”
the general misuse of “whataboutism”
“live long enough to become the villain”
“This is the reaction to the other side’s reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs.”
It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they’d be in power forever because they’re objectively “right.”
Not the case.
Here? Either an unpopular opinion or replying to a comment I misinterpreted. Nothing too bad. Reddit? I got banned from a sub because I disagreed with breeding dogs into messed up mutants that couldn’t breathe or bark right. Probably that one.
My most downvoted posts here were agreeing with Hillary Clinton in an interview where she said in a personal interview, not a campaign event, that left wing voters need to “get over it” (infighting during election season) and support then-candidate Biden because we only get 2 choices and if we don’t we’ll end up stuck with another Trump term.
Not a lot of Americans know this but what would theoretically happen in a case of nobody voting enough or no-votes (like that’s ever going to happen). The government will run a specialized election, but that election will only be voted on the government members themselves. It goes to the House of Representatives.
And that’s something we don’t want.
Is this in reference to the 12th Amendment or something else?
The more I learn about Andrew Jackson, the more I see why Trump chose his photo to hang up, and the more I see we haven’t learned much as a country in 200 years. 😑
Yes, that.
Ah cool, just wanted to make sure I read about the thing you were talking about as the 12th covers some other topics too. It was an interesting story how that all came about, thanks for encouraging me to look it up!
Had to skim through a bit, but it appears to be this one:
https://lemmy.world/comment/9834772
I suggested that people could use throwaway temporary email accounts if they didn’t want to risk using their real email to register for Sony’s annoying forced PSN registration for their PC games.
I’ve shared a few hot takes here and there on Lemmy so I am surprised that this one ended up being my lowest (so far).
I don’t know if I was downvoted for angering the Sony fans by notion that there could be security concerns with PSN, or people who disliked the suggestion that they didn’t have to use their real emails to still register for an account, or both.
I suggested that good music comes from republican administrations without clarifying that I was thinking about bands like Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Dead Kennedys, etc.
That’s an interesting way of thinking about that. Huh. Sone of my favorite bands too. So if we lived under a peaceful just administration then what? Constant peaceful melodies. Do we need a machine to rage against for great music.?? You may be onto something
I guess, if you declare that as good music. which is really subjective. but meh.
i once criticized Salvador Dali’s artwork. turns out people really love that guy and i’m a moron
“Art is subjective” - Art Fan.
“… No, I didn’t mean like that” - Also Art FanWell Dalis work are art no discussion needed IMO, Dada toilets or pouring paint, well let’s say that I don’t think it’s art, but be free to think that if you so do.
Probably one a few weeks ago where I said civilised people shouldn’t condone murder even if the victim is a bad person.
It’s like the Trolley Problem, though. If the death of one person might cause fewer other people to die, could it be justified?
might
You gamble with your own life too?
I still don’t feel bad about such people getting adjusted if it means a shift in perspective.
The thing is that symbolic murders can have consequences so good they greatly outweight the bad action. That’s why we killed our king in france. Sure killing is bad, and he wasn’t that guilty as he was just dumb, but killing him changed the world for good
I’m pretty sure my bickering about the election. I was very unpopular during that period. Now I’m just regular unpopular. 👍🏾
