Old habits die hard, but there’s Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die.
Many “golden-age” redditors remember a time when downvoting was reserved for hostility, not a different opinion. For the sake of our growing community I would like to implore everyone to be awesome to each other.
However, this place is not Reddit.
- We don’t measure in bananas here.
- We don’t need to append “edit: typo” to edited posts and comments.
- if you see something which is worthy of a downvote: down vote and move on! Don’t engage with it and feed the algorithm/engament machine so other people are exposed to it when sorting by active.
That’s the problem with having an opinion.
Are you bring downvoted heavily? That’s the only way I know to know if I agree with you or not.
I’m only slightly in the negative numbers. So you’re completely justified in starting from a place of skepticism.
Come back later. Once I reach -5 you can be vindicated in knowing that you were right all along.
It’s not about being right cause I don’t know what right is. The downvotes tell me if you’re wrong, that’s different. I can then feel safe.
These posts are sarcasm, by the way. Dont start downvoting, people!
You’re absolutely right. When the upvotes are high on a post I have a different opinion about, that just means they’re all suffering from mass delusion.
These posts are NOT sarcasm. These are sincerely held beliefs and would (and will) be regarded as admissible evidence in court.
I might try turning off “Scores” in the settings so I can rawdog my feelings onto others posts and comments.
It’s a brave new world.
Edit: Did it. I literally do not know what to think.
Fuck yea cant, raw dawg those comments ya raw dawg, shit cant, dawg cant
(BTW this is not hostile, this is just how us Aussies talk to each other, it’s a sign of endearment)
