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.

Saying something that is insufficiently negative about Elon Musk. Or Mark Zuckerberg, he's another one on the "villain" list.

I tend to come off as an absolute asshole in all debates and arguments even when I am agreeing with people or praising them regardless of if I am right/wrong or winning/losing because I'm probably mildly on the spectrum.

I feel this in my bones (except I know I am in the spectrum).

Jup, I'm a high functioning autist and especially in written discussions I tend to get misinterpreted. I doesn't help that English is my 4th language either.

Also an Autist and english is my first language, don't blame your language skills too much, they will find a way to misinterpret you anyway, you can trust me on this.

Ranting about works like the MCU and Zombie Land Saga because I don’t agree with either.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe never ceases to amuse me with how it influences the industry as a whole or how it misrepresents the comics.

Zombie Lan Saga was an anime that subverted zombies in favor of Japanese pop idols that are supposed to be ‘zombies’ but not exactly.

I used to watch those works to begin with and then just stopped because I disagreed with them.

Of course, they’re just my opinions.

At least I’m not criticizing my neighbors, right?

Suggesting to stockbros that viewing money as both debt but also, specifically, debt that doesn't have to be paid back and isn't owed to anyone or anything anyway (thus making it, by definition, not debt) is, at best, problematic.

Tbf, most of them still think that federal banks create most of the money in circulation and, just to be clear, that is not true. The vast, vast majority of money in circulation is created by private banks when they issue loans.

Edit: sorry, I should add, money is debt. If its not debt, it's not money. A bank note is a fancy I.O.U.

Pointing out that the replies to this thread are loaded with centrists and conservatives who are big amgy that they aren't praised for their genius when they take their right wing and centrist PoV opinions to known leftist and tanky instances instead of neutral discussion spaces.
