    they’re not mine; they come from the VERY few leftists that i met in texas.

    also: why do you think people downvoting your question addressed to me? i can get it if it’s rude or insulting, but it’s literally a completely uncharged question.

      Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you, friend.

      There are many in here who think it’s fun to downvote every single thing I say, regardless of content or context.

      So just ignore it. You haven’t done anything wrong. Thanks, friend! :)

        i had a similar suspicion since i get the same thing and the speed at which it happens makes it clear that they’re using something like an API.

        that means that the admins of .world are aware of it and turning a blind eye towards it; which is surprising considering how they’ve publicly called out other admins from other instances for doing similar underhanded things.

        i expect that from conservatives; not lemmy-ites.

          You make some good points. I don’t know much about scripts or bots or API. But it is weird how quickly many of my posts and comments get downvoted, even in other communities. And in fact, many in those other communities often wonder why I get so many downvotes since it’s unrelated to content or context.

          So you may be right. But I don’t care. The downvoters are just mad because I have different views than them.

          It won’t stop me from posting or comment. Thanks friend! :)

              Yeah dude is a jerk and troll a ton of the time then he’s like “why are people mad at me?” What a fake victim complex.

            i bring it up because reddit didn’t used to care about up/down votes either; but now they’re a requirement for many of it subs and i wonder if .world is going to go the same way to prevent messages like this from getting to their users.

                I mean you attack and troll people with words, how is them doing the same with votes any different? Seems a bit hypocritical.
