    I was going to downvote this, but then I realised that would be admitting you won.

    I’ll have to write an angry comment instead

    erm

    here goes

    You’re a stupid libtankietard who votes for chairman musk and all your opinions are based on Facebook and the UN. You probably believe the moon is round. You can’t even wear your Arch Socks on the right feet. We should defederate.

    Phew I think I won now. I forgot what we were arguing about?

        Well the way i navigate thru conversations I’m having currently brings me to my history since i’m usually having more than one at a time an i need to know who’s replying to what. When one of those is an argument, noticing a bunch of single downvotes while passing thru my history causes air to erupt from my nose because it proves to me that someone I’ve got beef with is definitely malding.

        The points don’t matter but the impotent effort they put in does, get me? It feels as close to a win as you’ll ever get on the 'net

          Ah got it, thanks. I have never seen something like that for me and do not care, so would never look for it.

    I remember when the queen came round to congratulate me on my upvote score, and it added £1000 to my bank account and everyone went around saying “look there they are, wow”. But it was all ruined the day the Fire nation attacked.

    You’re really gonna let the world make you care about grumpy little arrow clicks? It diminishes us to even think about it. Each person is a being of pure chaos at the infinite center of creation. You are cosmic, made of stardust and in ways beyond words profound.

    Besides, there’s no user karma on this site.

      It’s not that i care. It’s just weird randomly seeing a lot of my benign comments at 0 upvotes. I can only then wonder how petty one must be to take their time to go through the effort

        Really depends on what they use and how far back they went on you

        Like I’ve said elsewhere I do this to people posting insane or false bullshit that are clearly spamming it, if you’re taking a shit or whatever and on Voyager you can click someone’s name and swipe slightly to downvote, can get through over a hundred comments in one shit if you don’t pay any attention to the content and just swipe, I bet

      I love the downvote you got for that. The one lonely little downvote. There’s something poetic about it.

    I’m reminded of a meme from the early 2000s. keep in mind it was a completely different time.

    arguing with someone online is like the special Olympics. you may win but everyone looks retarded.

    The only arguments you win are the ones you don’t participate in. Internet arguments are a race to the bottom of who can waste the least time.

    The very best is when some fucking loser goes back through your comment history and says, “Oh ya, well…” and brings up something you wrote months ago to try to embarrass you into silence. Fuck those pathetic fucking losers.

      I love seeing when someone goes to find a months old comment and they pull out just… meh shit.

      They spent all their time going through someone’s profile for the tamest stuff.

    Honestly, I am so happy that Lemmy doesn’t tie votes to any points like Reddit. It’s a pity that people will still find a way to bring points into arguments. Yeah it sucks when people disagree with you, but can’t always be right all the time either.

    I thought it was a feature of Lemmy that karma don’t mean shit.

    Or to more precisely put it, Lemmy accumulates up/down votes to their actual worth.
