Just a random liberal dropping by to say “Hi” and check out this community.
I just want to applaud You all for having thick skin; I was looking at all the different posts, and sooo many had sooo many down votes.
Downvotes bug the fuck out of me. How do You all deal with it so well ? Any tips / advice ?
Thx 🙏😊
Downvoting is symptom Liberal intolerance, Theroux was at least honest about your intolerance.
Y’all are coping hard. It’s a down vote. It’s the equivalent of me telling you in person that I don’t agree with your opinion on such and such topic. Stop acting like if someone downvotes you then proves that they also want burn your house down or something. And as a reminder, I can almost guarantee you that the majority of Lemmy is left leaning people so of course conservatives are going to get majority downvoted. Nothing wrong with that. I’m happy y’all are here and I hope that critiques y’all get will encourage y’all to produce well thought out content and not low effort click bait. And that goes both ways. But ultimately, crying about downvotes is weak sauce man.
Your whole straw man argument is about downvotes, not the person that said conservatives are not welcome.
Im just blown away at the fact you’re so upset about downvotes and someone saying they downvoted you because ‘you aren’t welcome’. Just like my “straw man” point stated above; that is the equivalent of someone disagreeing with you or not wanting to participate in a conversation that they view as “wrong”.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is obligated to get into a full blown debate mode in order to have the privilege to downvote. If everyone did that then you would probably complain that you’re getting invaded or something silly.
Ultimately if you like or agree with something then up vote and if you don’t like or disagree then downvote. Seems pretty fair to me. And please don’t come at me and say ‘just ignore the post’. That’s weak sauce attitude and I ain’t interested in that.
You’re really stuck on the diwnvotes, nobody else is. Is liberal ideology so fragile that you can’t bear to see different viewpoints?
Let’s get this abundantly clear.
I believe upvotes and downvotes are used to show if you like or disagree/ agree or disagree with something.
You believe downvotes are a symptom of liberal intolerance.
Which belief sounds more fragile to you?
Once again you are the one obsessed with upvotes and down votes, not me. I’m just pointing how intolerant the left is.
And how, in the context of this thread, is the left being intolerant? The correct and obvious answer that you believe is through downvotes.
But I doubt you’ll admit that… Which is pretty dishonest imo.
Ultimately we are both have been engaging in discourse extensively and this point. I believe that shows we both care about downvotes. We’ve come to the end of our conversation. Now you, me, and anyone else can read through the interaction and decide which person makes sense.
Theroux literally said we are not welcome here. Then you decided to discuss down votes. Which were not mentioned in this thread until you mentioned them.
In this thread you were the one who brought up down votes, keeps discussing down votes, and keeps obsessing over down votes. I have been discussing liberal intolerance and fragility to opposing opinions. Which post did I make where lamented the fact that I get downvoted because I hurt some liberals feelings?
