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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Because it means people dislike it, for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Try again. It might have just been unlucky

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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.

Yep that's why "Some reason". Specifying it in comments is the best

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.

who hurt you OP

I will hunt them, and find them, and when they are sleeping snugly in their bed at night I will creep into their bedroom and meow loudly and incessantly so that they cannot sleep

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I shall join you meow

It's okay, we'll lemup this post since it's not a bean screensaver ;)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

lol fair enough. I guess shame on me for riding a meme bandwagon for educational purposes 😅

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

This perfectly sums up my Reddit experience. Keep at it OP, this place will eventually treat you well!

This isn't beans 🫘
