Just leave it up with the downvotes
Yeah, sometimes when a comment gets wildly misinterpreted or goes wrong due to early attention by people with bad attitudes, I leave it up… other times, I get sick of repeated replies by abusive people and just block people and delete it. Reddit voting in particular (and some Lemmy lately) goes with trends, like if a post starts to get downvotes, people are more likely to downvote it, especially if it’s ambiguous. People trying to interpret it will choose a negative interpretation if it already has downvotes, like the other downvotes are a sign “other people determined this was bad”. Even worse, there is a certain behavior where people reply to someone who has been downvoted to try to correct or chide them, like it’s their opportunity to act superior and talk down to someone.
Who were you, DENVERCODER9? WHAT DID YOU SEE!!?
I hate to recycle Reddit over abused one liners but...
I get that reference!
