What gets you downvoted? - eviltoast

What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don’t think it’s bad behavior in the first place, or don’t care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here… One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it’s small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do “Top Day” on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don’t like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.

    What’s interesting is that the language allows multiple meanings. The commenter above can either be driven bonkers by presence of nuance or the lack of it and both interpretations are correct.

    The first sentence can be seen as being against nuance or it can be seen as being against the online experience of asking for nuance.
    The next sentences can be seen as arguments against nuance or examples of behaviour encountered when asking for it.
    And the final bonkers can either be against the use of nuance or the repeated responses to it use.

    So without further clarification, we can’t really be sure which stance the commenter implies.
    With only these two situations presented, it’s a 50/50, left or right choice, so I’ll go ahead and presume it’s the latter, since that seems to be more likely encountered in online chats.

      If the commenter meant that a black/white mindset drives them nuts, then I redirect my comment, in the sense that:

      1. I agree, it’s nuts.
      2. My comment applies to people with that mindset.
