Edit - so far, people aren't really answering my question, but they seem to be trying to suggest the downvotes made sense, while offering no better explanation for how than maybe everyone suddenly got triggered by the flags in my username. Fuck you if you support Israelis btw
Edit 2 - improved precision of language by changing "bot brained people" to "Nazis" after someone tried to make this about the flags in my username
It's very obvious I'm targeted with botted downvotes on reddit and piefed, but of course a lot of people are also just Nazi morons.
I'm curious what people here think of this particular example from the comments on my last post here.
They upvote someone giving me an irrelevant link while pretending it's relevant, but they downvote the shit out of me explaining why it's not relevant. For context, the discussion was about a shell script I was trying to develop to store data in the corner of a video using QR codes.
Here's the github link they posted.
The original thread is removed now, so this link to see more of the context won't work. I also can't copy and paste from the original post to provide more context, because unlike reddit, piefed doesn't let me see my own posts after they've been removed.
The post did last a few days before being removed, and not a single one of the people downvoting me (or upvoting that guy) ever replied to explain whatever half a percent of a thought process their clicks were based on, so I felt like making this follow-up post to invite discussion again.
One of the mods/admins here also harassed me with gaslighty DMs (continuing after I told them to stop) and temporarily banned me, they are now blocked. (That post was also the first place I posted the shitty early version of the code in this project, so removing it is pretty fucked up since it makes it harder for me to prove when I first posted it if any liars try to dispute that later.) I'm looking forward to being permanently banned so that I'm permanently done dealing with you people here, but in the mean time, I'm curious about any responses to this.
Read more carefully, I explained the context.
It's weird how after complaining you couldn't understand such a short post, you gaslight me about how "good" my reasons have to be for noticing obvious things.
Regarding the tools - currently using zint, ffmpeg, and zxing as I continue trying to do this. Was zbar instead of zxing at time of the original post.
Idea definitely should be easy for someone with more knowledge/expertise than me, and if anyone got the idea from my removed post, they can get it done faster than me and pretend it had nothing to do with me, thanks to my post being removed. But that's totally aside from the point of whether people think it seems like bots or just regular human stupidity driving vote patterns like these.
I have no skin in the game, I only saw this post come up in my stream. I think the reason for the downvotea aren't bots, but rather your abrasive comments. Quite frankly, you come across as a dick.

When I tell you you come across as a dick, I'm not lying like you are when you say it to me
