    Why do you care about up votes and down votes? There is no karma tracking here

      I don’t care about Karma, but to see a 0 after spending an hour on something means that it will not get seen (when I thought people would enjoy it). So in a way it invalidates my effort, and causes me to reevaluate what people would like to see (and, it seems my content may not be it).

        Might be an idea to make your lemmy home on an instance that doesn’t allow down votes (those exist). People on other servers might still downvote it, but you won’t notice.

        In fact, I think I’ll go do that myself.

        Why should their opinions on your content matter though? You gifted the world a meme, if they reject it thats their call. Who should be embarrassed, the person who gifts $100 or the person who rejects the $100 gift? You do you man

          Or the downvote isn’t a statement about your post itself. Let’s take some post about Vladidick Pussyn and his little special desaster operation for example. Ppl who downvote might just express that they do not like your post, but they dislike the special desaster operation.

      That’s the thing that was missing in my sight! And you know what? I don’t care that we don’t have karma anymore. I think it lets people be themselves even though they might say stuff that would downvote them to the ground.
