LOLOLOL 🤣🤣🤪
Edit: I legit thought this joke was funny and reacted to indicate that… are we not supposed to laugh at the jokes here? What part of the assignment did I misunderstand to draw in the downvotes 🥹

MODERATORS
There are a bunch of bitter assholes who downvote innocuous comments on the fediverse. You can see who downvotes you on lemvotes.org if you want to block them but you’re better off just ignoring the haters. Questioning downvotes tends to get more downvotes.
Been here over 2 years. This is the first I'm hearing about that site. Thanks for the info.
Word! Thank you for filling me in. As you can see from the little baby emoji next to my user, I’m new around here and just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing some unspoken lem-cultural rule.
Heaters gonna heat, haters gonna hate, I shall never sweat it, sealed has been my fate ✝️
Downvoting means something different to everyone. It could just be that they felt you didn't add to the conversation well with a simple LOL and some emojis.
Some people downvote whenever they see an emoji.
I doubt anyone is downvoting because they "disagree" with you on this case, since the one user that actually downvoted the post didn't even downvote you.
I would just ignore these downvotes and move on.
I dont think I've seen the typical emoji-downvoting on lemmy yet, and imo it deserves to be left on reddit
I had a friend who drank lighter fluid... It became a problem when he started floating.
Not the way I was expecting that to go. Well done.
He was too when he tried to have a cigarette...
That's more like what I was expecting, yes.
Hello fellow dear hank and john listener.
Who? Never heard of them, but whoever I stole the joke from may have
No worries, it's a podcast that opens with a dad joke and that was this week's joke
