    I posted that the new Twitter logo looked like a broken image icon.

    That was a weird week. Every post I had ever made, going back to the day I registered my account, got dozens of downvotes. I figure someone with dozens of accounts used me as a test case for one-man-brigading.

    I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that’s the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that’s all I know

      I’ve been to a private school, and it sucked. this is just my (German) experience though. so I would’ve probably down voted you as well.

    In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.

    My most downvoted posts here were agreeing with Hillary Clinton in an interview where she said in a personal interview, not a campaign event, that left wing voters need to “get over it” (infighting during election season) and support then-candidate Biden because we only get 2 choices and if we don’t we’ll end up stuck with another Trump term.

    My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won’t vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

    Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.

    I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.

    Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.

    But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.

        These phrases activate my cringe neurons so hard even though the people writing them are probably really nice.

        “alwayshasbeen.jpg/surprisedpikachu.png”

        “play stupid games win stupid prizes”

        “they fucked around found out”

        “but why tho?”

        “por que no los dos?”

        it’s like, you felt an urge to comment something but didn’t want to commit to engaging with your own words and ideas so my brain blurs it as essentially spam.

    Here? Either an unpopular opinion or replying to a comment I misinterpreted. Nothing too bad. Reddit? I got banned from a sub because I disagreed with breeding dogs into messed up mutants that couldn’t breathe or bark right. Probably that one.

    On reddit. I think it was a comment about how DLSS was going to make devs lazy and optimize their games less because DLSS would do the work for them. People thought I was crazy.

    Had to skim through a bit, but it appears to be this one:

    https://lemmy.world/comment/9834772

    I suggested that people could use throwaway temporary email accounts if they didn’t want to risk using their real email to register for Sony’s annoying forced PSN registration for their PC games.

    I’ve shared a few hot takes here and there on Lemmy so I am surprised that this one ended up being my lowest (so far).

    I don’t know if I was downvoted for angering the Sony fans by notion that there could be security concerns with PSN, or people who disliked the suggestion that they didn’t have to use their real emails to still register for an account, or both.

    Any time I point out that nuclear energy from new plants is really fucking expensive. Some people get mad at me for pointing out basic economics.

    In Reddit, years ago, I was writing about protecting endangered whales. Apparently it was quite the pro whaling community that day. Never knew I could get more than -100 downvotes, but I far surpassed that

    When I said that excessive profits are essentially stealing in the context of Steam: https://lemm.ee/post/37004161/13249135

    I still stand by that comment very much. If a company makes a lot more than most other companies per employee, then quite obviously the profit margin is much higher than other companies. If the profit margin is much higher than other companies, then the price could be lowered. Steam is obviously the best and basically a monopoly which is why they can do that, but this is an example of how capitalism does not lead to the best efficiency.

    I’m essentially advocating against more profit. I live a relatively poor life by choice. Almost everyone I meet calls me crazy, I rather work less than earn more money. I think one of our main problems as a species for sustainability is that everyone always wants more and more and is never satisfied. This applies individually and to companies/other organizations. As long as my basic needs like food and housing are covered, I’m happy.

        It probably has to do with how many people here use Linux, and Steam’s commitment to supporting Linux gaming. I myself have a fairly high opinion of them; they’re not perfect, but they’re better than the other big companies and I can actually play their games.
