Yeah, the doomposting is intense on Lemmy. I've taken up a policy of just downvoting any negative posts I see, even if I like the post otherwise, just to tamp down the negativity a bit around here.

The best and worst thing about Lemmy is how niche we are. It keeps out the "mainstream", but unfortunately we're easily inundated by perpetually-online doomers.

Also, I would recommend blocking users moreso than communities. Once you start looking for it, you realize that like 90% of these posts are made by just a few people/bots.

....trying to determine if your post is positive or negative, up or down....

Tell ya what, you up vote it and I'll down vote it and all should be right in the world.

What shall I do with your post?

Should we invoke quantum string theory?

No, we just have to get into a pedantic and derivative argument and we should be all good!

Sounds like 99% of replies to my posts, so we're good.

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

No it doesn't. I can't believe you'd say such a thing. Those were all well thought out and valid replies.

Good question, I suppose I'm being negative about negativity.

Honestly, feel free to downvote, you have my blessing lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you make a decent negative argument, in a perfect world it should be an upvote.

"If", tho'....

Normally I would agree 100%. I'm specifically more harsh here just because I find the ratio to be so off.

Dude, you're almost doing too well to downvote!

Do worse!
