Willie is a beautiful angel.

Wrong, I’m downloading the latest music on Napster right now.

Clearly not?

You’re just imagining it.

Not every thought I have in the shower is original.

Idk, I kinda like systemd.

I clicked it 5 more times, in your honor.

Probably just needs a Snickers bar.

You married a horse girl? That sounds exciting, and also dangerous.

Downvotes are dang near a placebo here. The average Lemmy user seems to vote emotionally and often vindictively. The good news is, it practically doesn’t matter. It’s just an impotent misuse of the platform.

The users that know how to (and want to) make the platform work for them will instead leverage the block system. I’ve got a large assortment of users, communities, and instances blocked in order to curate my experience. And in doing so, I find myself using downvotes pretty sparingly.

Teesh

It also demonstrates that downvotes mean fuck-shit-all on here. This post will get just as many downvotes as a useful post will get upvotes. It’s getting relatively just as much engagement and visibility.

Additionally, I’ve had one or two people go through my recent posts and comments and downvote a handful of them, due to this post. What they don’t realize is they may have just bumped them, for anyone sorting by controversial. So theoretically, their little retaliatory hissy fit got me even more visibility.

I wanted to make you feel better, by demonstrating that even if you liked women pooping, people would still hate it.

Oh no, I don’t like snakes.

I don’t understand the context.
