People are not allowed to disagree or not like? What's the downvote button even for then?

I also read a post about downvoted content being "buried", so I guess most people have their feed by Hot and that's why? And what would be wrong with that anyway?

New gang till death, I like my content chronologically.

ps: What was that site you could see your upvotes/downvotes? I'm curious about my ratio and how grumpy I have become.

edit: I should have been more clear, I'm talking more about mods being touchy. If a random user gets mad that he was downvoted, there's not much they can do, but there are mods banning people for downvotes lol

I think they call it “rejection sensitivity dysphoria”

    I came here to say this

    Maybe it's the communities I'm in, but it sure seems like the fediverse skews autistic. Not only is RSD quite common in autistic people, but a lack of social grace is also pretty normal

    I highly doubt it. I think it skews self-identified autistic... because the self-diagnosis IME gives people more 'runway' to be assholes.

    I also take this not just form the internet, but from real life social interactions. The biggest assholes always would front-loud their shitty behaviour by being like 'oh i have this condition'. And that way if you tried to call out, you were the asshole.

    And you also notice a the majority of their posting is all about how 'hard they have it'... etc. Which is also how a lot of non-autistic people frame their lives, as perpetual struggle... they just don't frame it around autism, they frame it around some other defining 'flaw' like lack of money, beauty, childhood, etc.

    Plus the legit autistic people I have met... tended to be way nicer than the self diagnosed ones.

    A lot of folks just... loathe being held accountable for their actions. And a lot of disorders/diagnosis are viewed as a 'get out of responsibility free' card and... a lot of folks exploit that whole dynamic.
