Yeah for me it’s less that I rage about getting downvoted, its just when I see a massive number of downvotes for posts that are simply pointing to the facts, or being logical and rational…and they get a massive number of downvotes because it contradicts the circlejerk or what people want to be true.
Yeah, though on the bright side, it’s not nearly as bad here as Reddit was. Based on votes and replies, it seemed like a non-trivial amount of people on there didn’t have much skill in the reading comprehension or persuasion department.
It’s a weird world and cool to think about. Thanks for the civil and interesting discussion.
Yeah, it was a good talk. Funny watching the sentiment of the voters throughout, too.
IMO, one of the best QoL updates for Lemmy is to make the votes invisible.
I suggest the personal firmware update of stopping caring about downvotes. Then they just become interesting data points.
I dont personally care about downvotes, but those data points sure do shake my faith in humanity sometimes.
If I get downvotes without any reply, I generally assume I’ve angered some trogdolytes, similar to getting replies full of vitriol.
Which has helped with my own urges to rage reply.
