    You’re my most upvoted individual on Lemmy, cm0002. You’re currently sitting at +129 before I hit the button again for this post. Dear @Sunshine@lemmy.ca, who is a prolific poster too, is the only other to crack +100 for me (for now).

    p.s. my votes are tracked by Voyager, after enabling the feature in the User Tagging settings, for those wondering

      I had that enabled, but then I felt bad because I had one user at like -50. They don’t seem to be a troll, they just have consistently terrible takes (imo) and try to make jokes at the wrong time. I’m not a big down voter, and I started to wonder if I was seeing the negative number and becoming prejudiced against them, so I got rid of it.

      I don’t know what the record is now, but I at least don’t have a reminder of previous bad takes next to their name, meaning I stay unbiased as long as I ignore usernames, which I do.

        Why don’t you just mute people once they’re past the -10/-20 mark?

          They’re receptive to other viewpoints, so I’ve had pretty successful conversations with them, they just start off with terrible takes. Plus they posted a couple of good memes and spurred some good conversation in the comments sections of those memes because of their perspectives.

          When I noticed someone had a few downvotes, I took it as a red flag, but I don’t like to block people who aren’t trolls or awful people.

            I see where you’re coming from. Seems like we differ on how and what we downvote and in turn we should consider -20 overall in different ways.

      Sometimes I find things personally interesting, but don’t have the energy or bandwidth to also discuss, but might later

      Sometimes I come across something I think others will find interesting, but don’t personally

      Sometimes I don’t initially find something I posted personally interesting but the comments catch my attention

      Sometimes I come across something I don’t find interesting, but it seems like it would be a niche thing with a niche Lemmy comm that could use some more traffic

      Sometimes it’s just a crosspost from a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm to help reduce .ml’s influence and general boycott of them

        Mostly when I post a meme there isn’t much to discuss

        If it doesn’t even bear discussion, then why post it at all

      That must have been like a lifetime ago lmao, there’s only been a few times on modern Reddit pre-API debacle that I was able to actually get a Reddit post to go “viral” on r/all and only like twice that the post also didn’t get removed for something or another when it got there LMAO
