Genuine question.

My post had -15 votes on that instance for asking if a user can get banned on Reddit because he banned me on a sub just for speaking Russian

    Stop reporting people who are answering your question with an answer you don’t like, we only remove rule breaking comments/posts here, not stuff you don’t like.

    I dunno but I always get the impression that these fucking people that are too cool for school and need to loudly tell everyone how little they care about downvotes every chance they get, are probably also the people that go around using downvotes in bad faith and making the platform a little less welcoming for everyone.

    My advice would probably be to just stay away from instances that are populated with the kind of people that use downvotes as a ‘disagree’ button or panic button to make themselves feel better when reading something they don’t understand. Those were always the worst people on Reddit that dragged the experience down for everyone. And it sucks that they’re all here too. And in a smaller pond, they’re going to be making a bigger splash.

    I’d find a nice instance and / or communities to spend 90% of my time in and only actually go to places like Ask Lemmy in world when you actually feel like dealing with smart alecs and neckbeards.

    Edit: and downvoting people for talking about downvotes isn’t actually funny, it’s just proof that you use downvotes for the wrong reasons. For the meme and ‘disagree’ button.

    Whining about downvotes gets you an automatic downvote.

    Asking how to evade a ban is asshole behaviour and gets you a downvote.

    Expecting people to give a shit about reddit gets you a downvote

    Dragging your reddit grievances in here and expecting people to take your side gets you a downvote

    Nobody cares about forum drama on another fucking platform, especially one they joined lemmy to get away from.

    W.r.t. Reddit specifically… a lot of people fucking hate Reddit and would rather not help you use that platform - that likely attracted a fair number of downvotes.

    More generally, you’re asking if another platform can do X - yes they can, they’re another platform… we’re not the deciders of what Reddit can and can’t do.

    Additionally, I personally, at least, hate commenting on questions about bans or evading bans because sometimes bans are well deserved and I’ll never know enough about the situation to be comfortable giving actual advice.

    Lastly, I think a fair number of users prefer nice open ended questions and that one isn’t really beneficial to the community to spur an interesting discussion… instead it feels more like something a websearch would give you relatively reasonable answers without requiring time or effort from other lemmings.

    Oh… and this question is being downvoted because discussions of downvotes are boring and karma isn’t a thing here.

    Sorry if these experiences aren’t a nice introduction but I think the wider answer is that this community is a mismatch for both your original and follow up question.

    I would also ban you for writing in a language I can’t comprehend. It’s hard to grasp the nuance when you don’t understand the language, and it’s hard to moderate if you can’t understand the nuance.

    Seems like a self fulfilling prophecy at this point.

    This one is getting downvoted because you just reposted the same question.

    The last one got downvoted, because your assumption that it has anything to do with instances was wrong.

    The one before that was asking how to get around a Reddit ban.

    Stop posting stupid shit, and your perspective will change.

      you don’t have to engage if it’s “stupid”.

      Also, i asked if the sub owner would get banned, not to get around one.

        You asked a question, I gave an answer. Sorry if it didn’t make you feel validated enough.

        You can tell me I’m wrong and keep asking the same questions and keep getting downvoted or take the new information and learn from it, it’s your call.

    Looks like your posts are being downvoted. Yes, downvotes exist in .world.

    They are not an attack on you, just on what you said. Just move on, and the next time you want to post something, post it.

    Also, I’ve since discovered that they are a 13 year old girl.

    I think this just isn’t their target audience.
