A few days ago I downvoted someone’s comment, and the next day I happened to notice every single comment I’ve ever made had at least one downvote. All from the person I dared to downvote the ONE time. I straight up asked why they did it, and they seem to think I’m an “obvious” troll account that “apparently just exist to downvote other people”. I assure you I’m no troll account, and ironically don’t really downvote all that often.
I know the topic of public downvotes has been discussed before, but I never used to care either way. Now I’m kinda leaning in the “I don’t like it” side. Honestly, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little offended, maybe even attacked. Also, there goes all my imaginary internet points. Lol
Has anyone else had something like this happen to them, or am I just unlucky?
@magnetosphere this! I love it when someone points out stuff I haven’t considered, especially if it turns out I’m wrong. Acknowleding that is the fastest way to actually turn it around and become right again.
Man, I miss Reddit!
Said nobody here ever.:-) The average discussion experience here is just better, with people who care about facts rather than purely trolling.
@OpenStars totally!
I originally only came here for something to do during the blackout, but it’s just so much better here that I ended up never going back.
