I said switch owners have never played real games on a greentext that is no longer available because it was hosted on kbin

I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

didn't know there were sorting functions, I just like to go through my comments sometimes and noticed my most down voted one, that got me curious. But a sorting function would be pretty epic...

More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they're finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn't do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won't vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

I remember seeing this, I LOLed.

Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn't really count. Other than that I've never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.

Jokes on them lemmynsfw doesn't federate downvotes... So probably this one.

My response to "capitalism is terrorism" was "Go move to Cuba then".

I don't know if this exists in different cultures, but in Czechia we often respond to stupid things with something equally or more stupid to show we don't take it seriously.

It has 88 down votes.

I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that's the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that's all I know

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I've been to a private school, and it sucked. this is just my (German) experience though. so I would've probably down voted you as well.

Mine was: "I will make it my life's purpose to pay for a business class fight on a smartwatch, no scratch that, a smart ring, i will report back with further progress."

This was in relation to a post about how anything important or meaningful should be done on a large monitor and not a phone or otherwise.

It got 3 downvotes

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I think this is it. Although I've been downvoted many times on here

"context is important"

I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

"This is the reaction to the other side's reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs."

It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they'd be in power forever because they're objectively "right."

Not the case.

I saw a post about how some female model apparently knew a lot of programming languages (I think it was around 60?) and left a comment about how I'd wager they only knew how to make the computer say "hello world" in most of them.

What I was intending was more that if much anyone told me they knew a ton of different programming languages (regardless of their jobs or side hustles) then that's what I would expect. Don't blame the downvoters for reading that as misogynistic and demeaning to models, but that's not what I was intending. Just that much anyone claiming they can program in that many languages reads to me like they're really inflating their numbers to brag.

Though in retrospect I can see how a magazine (or another similar group) may want to pull that number out of her in an interview (so she wouldn't necessarily be bragging about it) and may not care about exactly how accurate or misleading the number could be compared to what they actually said.

Saying: "Google says stalking is a crime in 50 US states." gave me 29 downvotes. The question was: "Would it be legal to crowdfund a licensed private detective to investigate a public figure and publish their results publicly?"

I'll never understand why people give a shit about votes on a form of social media that is clearly pointless. This place is a timepassing entertainment vehicle full of trolling and silliness. The points don't matter. Why care?

Up there with people who waste their time browsing other users history so they can remark about it.
