2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

been that way since I joined.
it's crazy how I can call someone out in a low traffic community and end up with 30 downvotes in five minutes.
it's also funny how when you call different people out on similar topics you get the same word-for-word response back from weeks or months ago.
I'm not saying it's bots, but......
Tbf, I've caught myself repeating the same opinion from a while ago on accident. I'm a person of habit, what can I say?
same opinion is one thing, but when two different people give verbatim the same bullet points it's a bit obvious.
tbh just with how the fediverse works I would not trust vote counts here whatsoever. The downside of having no central authority over the network is that anything that lets one instance affect the whole network, like votes from bots on one instance being federated, cant be entirely trusted.
And like with “Who’s line is it Anyway” everything is made up and the points don’t matter.
They are magical internet points and getting thin skinned over downvotes is pathetic 😂
couldn't care less for the downvotes tbh, if anything I'll wear them as a badge of honor.
my problem is getting 30 downvotes in five minutes in a sub that has maybe five active users at any given hour of the day.
