Is there anyway to downvote your own posts by default?

      I mean I kinda get what they mean. It’s always been strange to me how the vote doesn’t start at zero. So auto downvoting your posts would do that.

      The only potential problem I see with it is Lemmy (like Reddit) has a tendency to just downvote if there’s already downvotes.

      Do you really attach that much effort into a downvote? Damn I been doin it wrong since MySpace…

          If you channel that much hate into every downvote, then yeah

    Looks like OP has their answer. Say something incredibly dumb and people will downvote you by default.

    Not by default, but just ask in your post body to be down voted because you have a kink for that. No shame, be yourself.

    I think you’ll find everyone willing to help.

    Bruh 🤣

    Your best bet is to write a script if you’re on a desktop or make a fork/request a feature of/for an open source project, I guess.

    Any other ideas, guys?

    There is already too much absurds downvotes, and many instances deactivate them.

    So don’t worry other lemmings, and bots Will do it for you.
