Ask Lemmy

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

Don't know actually. mbin doesn't support sorting comments by... points?

I posted a meme of Trump giving the viewer the double fingers with "Cry Harder" as a caption.
It was intended to be sarcastic, as in NOT Pro-Trump, and a cursory view of that account's posting history would support that view. The crowd went berserk and that account was banned from the Political Memes, News, and asklemmy.....

"context is important"

I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.

Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn't really count. Other than that I've never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.

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

"This is the reaction to the other side's reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs."

It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they'd be in power forever because they're objectively "right."

Not the case.

Jokes on them lemmynsfw doesn't federate downvotes... So probably this one.

Mine was: "I will make it my life's purpose to pay for a business class fight on a smartwatch, no scratch that, a smart ring, i will report back with further progress."

This was in relation to a post about how anything important or meaningful should be done on a large monitor and not a phone or otherwise.

It got 3 downvotes

My response to "capitalism is terrorism" was "Go move to Cuba then".

I don't know if this exists in different cultures, but in Czechia we often respond to stupid things with something equally or more stupid to show we don't take it seriously.

It has 88 down votes.

I think this is it. Although I've been downvoted many times on here

I saw a post about how some female model apparently knew a lot of programming languages (I think it was around 60?) and left a comment about how I'd wager they only knew how to make the computer say "hello world" in most of them.

What I was intending was more that if much anyone told me they knew a ton of different programming languages (regardless of their jobs or side hustles) then that's what I would expect. Don't blame the downvoters for reading that as misogynistic and demeaning to models, but that's not what I was intending. Just that much anyone claiming they can program in that many languages reads to me like they're really inflating their numbers to brag.

Though in retrospect I can see how a magazine (or another similar group) may want to pull that number out of her in an interview (so she wouldn't necessarily be bragging about it) and may not care about exactly how accurate or misleading the number could be compared to what they actually said.

There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.

I replied something like "Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine".

While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.
