I didn't downvote this comment but I can tell you that it's probably because your spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar are so atrocious that it's hard to figure out what you're even saying. The culture of Reddit-style message boards has long been to discourage low-effort content. It takes like 30 seconds to proofread your comment/post before pressing submit. Don't write like a 13 year-old girl on an AOL chatroom in 2003, and people may be less inclined to downvote you.
Thank you for pointing this out, at least it clarifies the issues
No problem. My personal philosophy is not to downvote comments with a lot of errors unless they are so serious as to make it impossible to understand, but I would normally downvote a top-level post if it had that level of messiness going on.
Sounds fair
I don't "need" anything. I'm just explaining to you why people are likely downvoting you.
Okay yeah, fair enough. On that note you may also be getting downvoted because of the "Let's do something to troll people (just kidding... (or am I?))" tone of your comment. It's hard to articulate why, but that sort of tone comes across as wasting the reader's time in a forum environment. Just say what you want to say and don't couch it in multiple layers of irony and sarcasm. People won't know what you are actually suggesting.
I wasn't referring to that specific quote, but rather the overall tone of your comment. It seems like you genuinely want to see some vengeful/discordant action taken, which I think a lot of people would take issue with.
I agree. No need for any vengeful/discordant action. Let's build rather than harm.
13 year old girl because of my lingering trauma from reading the Penguin of Doom copypasta.
Damn, that's something I hadn't seen in a long time
I kinda didn't realize that was what I was even referring to when I said "13 year-old girl on an AOL chatroom" until after they asked me about it. Funny how our brains can have these hardwired associations to things we don't actively remember exist.
Which keyboard are you using?
Listen, you can't blame a keyboard for the fact that this comment has no punctuation, and is one giant run-on sentence. You have to add that yourself on every keyboard I've ever used.
I really like lemm.ee, the admin is a nice person. It's also the second biggest instance behind LW, so more visibility.
I'm really surprised about what is happening here
