WHO is the one guy who downvotes you???
"NO! UNPROFITABLE BUSINESSES DESERVE TO THRIVE!!! MUST FEED THE BILLIONAIRES!!!"
Maybe OpenAI learned to downvote...
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.

Edit: 10 people here didn't grow up with Mary Poppins.....
You spelled it wrong you brick.
You could even say his spelling is quite atrocious
Lmao the down votes on this are really funny to me
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:
And a downvote means:
Sound was quite atrocious, downvoted 👎
I think people are missing the joke here 😄
Venn diagram of Lemmy users and Mary Poppins stans barely touching.
anodyne /ăn′ə-dīn″/ adjective
tanks fer noo werd dae fren
First read serving sausage pain.
That sounds like a misusage of a very common word in French: anodin
I'd say a good 10% of English is just misusing words from other languages to be fair.
It's also really easy to mis-swipe on a comment on some apps.
Some people also suck
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!"
LOL, I can picture this person. They probably have a gross-looking bandaid on their downvote finger.
There are some hardcore "copyright shouldn't exist" folks out there.
The guy who wants their AI girlfriend yesterday.
That's the bot that ChatGPT operates here on Lemmy.
Ask an mbin user lol
I'm unclear on context. Are you saying Mbin users can see who upvotes/downvotes?
Votes aren't private on the fediverse, it's just a that some interfaces won't display them. Also, instance admins can see who voted too.
But like @Boozilla@lemmy.world said
It mainly useful for admins to detect if there is some vote manipulation going on.
To steel man the downvoters, maybe there are other solutions besides killing off every business that can't afford to comply with copyright. After all, isn't the whole point of copyright to enable the capitalist exploitation of information?
