PugJesus and The_Picard_Maneuver 😂
You're my most upvoted individual on Lemmy, cm0002. You're currently sitting at +129 before I hit the button again for this post. Dear @[email protected], who is a prolific poster too, is the only other to crack +100 for me (for now).
p.s. my votes are tracked by Voyager, after enabling the feature in the User Tagging settings, for those wondering
I had that enabled, but then I felt bad because I had one user at like -50. They don’t seem to be a troll, they just have consistently terrible takes (imo) and try to make jokes at the wrong time. I’m not a big down voter, and I started to wonder if I was seeing the negative number and becoming prejudiced against them, so I got rid of it.
I don’t know what the record is now, but I at least don’t have a reminder of previous bad takes next to their name, meaning I stay unbiased as long as I ignore usernames, which I do.
Why don't you just mute people once they're past the -10/-20 mark?
They’re receptive to other viewpoints, so I’ve had pretty successful conversations with them, they just start off with terrible takes. Plus they posted a couple of good memes and spurred some good conversation in the comments sections of those memes because of their perspectives.
When I noticed someone had a few downvotes, I took it as a red flag, but I don’t like to block people who aren’t trolls or awful people.
I see where you're coming from. Seems like we differ on how and what we downvote and in turn we should consider -20 overall in different ways.
Thank you for your service o7

Now shut up and get back to work
Welcome to the club!
Absolutely cannot relate.
Why do people post things they have no interest in also discussing
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sometimes I find things personally interesting, but don't have the energy or bandwidth to also discuss, but might later
Sometimes I come across something I think others will find interesting, but don't personally
Sometimes I don't initially find something I posted personally interesting but the comments catch my attention
Sometimes I come across something I don't find interesting, but it seems like it would be a niche thing with a niche Lemmy comm that could use some more traffic
Sometimes it's just a crosspost from a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm to help reduce .ml's influence and general boycott of them
Mostly when I post a meme there isn't much to discuss, unless someone poses a good question I wanted to engage with :shrugs:
Mostly when I post a meme there isn’t much to discuss
If it doesn't even bear discussion, then why post it at all
Why do people make rhetorical comments?
Remember on Reddit post karma was considered the easy one to get?
That must have been like a lifetime ago lmao, there's only been a few times on modern Reddit pre-API debacle that I was able to actually get a Reddit post to go "viral" on r/all and only like twice that the post also didn't get removed for something or another when it got there LMAO
My favorite was when Gallowboob would remove posts and repost them himself.
Oh yea haha that guy was a trip, I swear posting on Reddit was legit their daytime job lolol
Almost 800 comments and only 20 posts, not sure I'm gonna get there...
