I am having an existential crysis about this

sounds like youve made an enemy ive got at least one of those thats why i changed my name to not chad mctruth and put on a disguise and i think its working so far

edit oh no

Hexbear was right about downvotes.

Sometimes someone just doesnt like a specific content. No need to try and please everyone, just like people dont have to hold back on downvoting to not hurt someones feelings. Thats how it works.

Sometimes when I'm scrolling I accidentallu bump a vote button because that's just where my thumb sits. I reverse it when I catch it but I'm willing to bet I don't always catch it.

Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know there is an option in your settings so you don't see upvotes or downvotes.

Lemmy (AFAIK) doesn't even show you your total upvotes (karma... whatever it's called) by default either. None of these imaginary points fucking matter.

So why don't you do yourself a favor and uncheck these boxes and not give a fuck what others think about your comment.

I know I have.

(Lemmy is rad as fuck)

'what you didn't wrong'? Well if you get downvoted now you know!

I accidentally downvote when I scroll. I’m sorry, everyone. I undo it when I notice.

Just ignore it, upvotes and downvotes ultimately mean nothing.

This is why we disabled down votes on hexbear (well that and transphobes down voting anything related to trans people)

Come to Hexbear we don't have downvotes

I get that some people are sensitive about this but I can't imagine posting on forums like this if downvotes bother you or you think about the mean reply you got for more than 3 minutes. That sounds terrible. If that were the case, I think I would only post if I had some really burning question I couldn't find the answer to. There's a bunch of lunatics on here and to prove it I'm admittedly one of them. Please don't pay too much heed to the opinions of random freaks on the internet. Even 50 downvotes doesn't necessarily mean you are "wrong" here.

It's probably just Elon

I switched to a Lemmy app which doesn't show Downvotes because of this dude.

i downvoted bc theres an empty space between the text and the images and also i thought it would be funny

I often explain. Usually it's spelling or 'literally'. I get downvoted for it.

You've apparently never said anything the Cheney Dems on .world or CCP worshippers on here dislike. I get mass downvoted every time I mention an inconvenient truth for either group. (cue the downvotes, I THRIVE on this shit you fucking party line sheep, make my day)

1 downvote please
