What gets you downvoted? (lemmy.world)

What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don't think it's bad behavior in the first place, or don't care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here... One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it's small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do "Top Day" on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don't like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.

When I talk about driving my Tesla, while playing on my iPhone, and chugging Starbucks out of my custom Stanley. With my Windows laptop on the passenger side.

At least it's not an Apple laptop, or I'd be annoyed.

I'd take an Apple over a chromebook any day.

(Yes I know you can load Linux on the Chromebook, but if I had to daily one or the other OS, apple > chrome)

If someone was giving me it for free? Yeah I'd have the Macbook too, the hardware is lovely (the software not so much).

To buy myself? Chromebooks can be a great deal, and they're ideal for a non-tech-savvy relative who needs a basic computer but that you don't want to be on-call for tech support!

I guess the Apple is more capable? Very much a lesser of two evils situation you've posited, though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Pretty much, I can use more than a web browser and run all kinds programs.

Windows laptop

YOU SON OF A BITCH! WE USE THINKPAD IN THIS INSTANCE!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Don't you mean playing with your iPhone while your Tesla drives itself?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Shit even more reason to downvote me.
