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.

Telling a joke that takes just a little bit of thinking to get and isn't immediately obvious.

Especially satire/sarcasm without denoting it with an "/s."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

That's not a thinking problem that's a "there's not enough information in your post to tell" problem

I want people to represent themselves really well, through their writing. I forget to consider their feels.

Anything critical about Biden on /politics is big bad. Only on /politics though.

There are a lot of people who still think nuclear power is the answer to all our problems. It really doesn't matter if I produce facts and evidence to show renewables are way cheaper and quicker to build, these people continue to reflexively downvote.

My most downvoted one should be about Nintendo and Yuzu, I think. I don't agree with some of their overly aggressive methods, but I argueed against emulation of the current gen and don't think it is wrong for them to try and stop it (which of course didn't work, that's a different topic). Sucks for Citra and Pizza though.
