What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don’t think it’s bad behavior in the first place, or don’t care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here…
One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it’s small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do “Top Day” on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don’t like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.
I’ve been lurking for months before joining and honestly, the voting appears quite random. If you post a comment early in any thread, it’ll probably get upvoted even when it’s totally silly and inane, as long if it can be construed as being in good faith. Write that same shit a few hours later, it’ll go into the abyss.
I’d say it’s still better than on That Other Site where you can get a good idea from the headline alone what the hackneyed ‘top’ comments will be like.
