Hmmmm I guess it’s hard to say without a specific topic.
I’d say for me though, when I get downvoted a bunch sometimes I was just being an asshole, other times I have a controversial opinions and a lot of times it’s just that text is not a great medium to convey sarcasm or intonation which affects how things get interpreted.
When I reread the stuff a couple of days later usually I’m like ‘oh yeah I guess it was taken the wrong way because they probably thought XYZ’
Oh there’s definitely times where it’s been me, but I didn’t start that way. Lemmy has turned me into that. Since I don’t expect a good interaction, I often just start out shitty, and keep going.
