What gets you downvoted? (lemmy.world)

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.

Can I be honest? Religion. Anything related to it, somehow will get someone downvote me. Even if I just mention "God" or something. I get that I should "separate the church from the state" or I should be secular here or whatevs, and I respect that. It's not like every time I mention I force it down to everyone's throat!

Tbh I wanted to make a post that greet everyone on Lemmy that are doing Ramadhan fasting at first, but now I don't even feel like doing that. There's no point of posting it, I guess, if it got downvoted and no one wants to see it.

I guess this means that Lemmy isn't much different from Reddit...

Lemmy is Reddit Extreme. Only the people who reacted the strongest to Reddit's policies move(d) over.

[–] tyo_ukko@sopuli.xyz 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

This is very true. You even got a down vote for saying it.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Well I would like to wish you and anyone else who's celebrating a Happy Ramadan.

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Thank you, sorry for being negative.

Happy Ramadhan for those who celebrate it!!

Tbh its such a complex topic that unless someone has studied it extensively/experienced it, they can’t really understand the extreme nuance behind it, and also the fact is true that people who claim themselves as ‘religious’ are mostly pieces of shit

I see myself as a practicing person but frankly the people who drive me nuts are always the people who follow the same faith, and tbh I think this might have to do with conservatism and the refusal to listen to others/accept you were wrong rather than religion itself, people somehow refuse to believe they are wrong even if you show it from their own scripture

Some blame is still on lemmy though, people somehow don’t seem to have any knowledge on this subject and make the most absurd claims and also somehow get upvoted to heaven, and I don’t bother correcting because its no good, ig this is just conservatism as well but of a different sort, unless u are an atheist, you are stupid/dumb

Ramadan Mubarak if you are involved though! I have always found it very fun!

Lemmy really isn't that different from reddit at all, its just got more Linux memes. All the problems that exist on reddit outside of the IPO exist on lemmy in a smaller fashion, and sometimes not so smaller.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I don't hate you for being a Muslim, I feel sorry for you. You can't choose what you believe, and your natural personality combined with your experiences and upbringing made you a Muslim. You are negatively impacted by Islam's restrictions - such as Ramadan, for example.

But I also feel sorry for all the non religious people religion harms, and more so.

Yeah, mentioning anything Christian, or saying something was taken out of context when someone quotes the Bible, instantly turns into a debate and how I'm pro slavery. It just goes off the rails.
