Does the old copypasta work here?

I just downvoted your comment.

FAQ

What does this mean?

The amount of points on your comment has decreased by one.

Why did you do this?

There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral votes.

These include, but are not limited to:

• ⁠Rudeness towards other Lemmerinos,

• A joke I personally disagreed with,

• ⁠Spreading incorrect information,

• Positively mention a website I dislike,

• ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

Am I banned from the The Instance?

No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on this Lemmy instance. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.
