I've seen threads where every single comment, no matter how anodyne, has 1 downvote. Don't bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.

Downvoting for the use of an uncommon word.

You spelled it wrong you brick.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

You could even say his spelling is quite atrocious

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Lmao the down votes on this are really funny to me

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Just imagine baron bomburst and the child catcher furiously downvoting this comment lol

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.

First read serving sausage pain.

[-] idefix@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds like a misusage of a very common word in French: anodin

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I'd say a good 10% of English is just misusing words from other languages to be fair.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 months ago

It's also really easy to mis-swipe on a comment on some apps.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Some people also suck

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I always figure it's someone whose life has become so pathetic, they bitterly downvote every single comment to try feel some control. And as a result, they feel like the Phantom of the Socials. Alone, but the true master of the place.

"Everyone must wonder, 'Who keeps downvoting us?' It is I! The true Master of Lemmy and- No, mother!... Yes, mother!... I tried but nobody wants to talk to me!... I don't want to!... Yeah, she's cute!... I don't want you to do that!... Mother put the phone down!"

[-] Boozilla@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

LOL, I can picture this person. They probably have a gross-looking bandaid on their downvote finger.
