Downvoting for the use of an uncommon word.

What I get a kick out of is the down and upvotes mean basically nothing and yet people still get super sensitive about them. They only move your comment up or down the thread. It's not like reddit where there is a karma count for all your posts and comments. Hell you don't even get auto hidden like the way reddit would do. You just get downvoted.

Some people downvote to show disapproval. Others downvote if the comment doesn't add to the conversation. Still others are just trolling. No one should worry about the downvotes.

See I look at it differently.

An upvote means:

You're the coolest person that's ever lived, and I'm desperate for you to put your baby in me, even if that's not biologically possible! You should be supreme ultimate being of the universe, and all shall cherish your existence until the end of time!

And a downvote means:

You sack of shit! You human garbage! Nobody loves you. Everyone hates you. The world has a better time when you're not around, you waste of human skin! Your parents should have used a condom, and the world regrets they didn't every day. Go live under a bridge, homeless, dirty, and alone, you genetic waste of space.

Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Mary Poppins stans barely touching.
