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 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.
Everyone's in here talking about downvotes... I read this meme and thought "You seriously get into arguments on the internet?" The most I'll do is leave a comment telling someone they're full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I'm replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.
I admire your nonchalance
Divine nonchalance to you!
Look at this someone who thinks you can win an argument on the internet.
How do you even notice such a thing?
Easy. All my downvotes are just salty people who lost at some point in the past. They just make it look realistic in an attempt to fool you.
Honestly that just means you won twice
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.
I had a dedicated fan for a couple weeks.
Lucky you. I just had a crazy person who stopped logging in after they got banned for two days. :-(
Hey tankies gonna be tankies.
I'm glad we all get the message
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?
I love it when i see a bunch of new downvotes in my history after an argument because i count every single one is a tear shed by my opponent
I mentally multiply all votes by ℹ anyway.
But why even look at that? Who cares?
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
Yes, downvote my month old Star Trek joke. Cry harder.
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 never look at the total score, one of the many horrible reddit features, plus i remove my automatic upvote
I love the downvote you got for that. The one lonely little downvote. There's something poetic about it.
At last, 🧑🔬 funny haters
lmao, it's always so obvious when it happens. If they just downvoted my political opinions, it'd be whatever, but when they downvote things like providing sources and explanations for anodyne posts? Just tells me I can mentally subtract 1 downvote from all my recent comments.
This comment annoys me. I'm down voting your previous comment.
Exactly lmao. It's so petty
Me here down voting your histo because I don't like your user name.
Watch it buddy. I don't fuck around. If i catch you making any spelling mistakes, it's straight to the slammer right after i brutally shove you to the ground making you struggle for air
just imagine they're learning dvorak
Tankies announcing they won an argument after they finished making claims without evidence and then deleting the comments of the other person.
How do you delete someone else's comments? Were you arguing with an admin?
Check the Lemmy.ml mod log...
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.
Nuuuuu not my updoots ;(
The nice thing about YouTube is that that isn't possible.
It's a dumb feature that should be opt-in.
You know if online arguing and down voting make them happy I guess
None of the affixed features to social media do much for me when their entire purpose is engagement farming for the most part.
So I can be right and they can fulfill their dopamine filled social media binge.
You love to see it
Who cares about votes?
+1
You used to be able to prove it too via kbin. It was very interesting having a supposedly cordial convo just to see that same person crawl your comment history downvoting everything.
win lol. discourse is about discovery and the search for truth. The most valuable arguments for me are when someone genuinely changes my mind.
Maybe win isn't the right word. Although you get the point
oh yeah. I only downvote to straight out spam after I report. like buy xyz drugs someplace or shit like that. (kbin had a bad ending)
You posting a paragraph of personal insults that doesn't get a reply doesn't mean you won the argument.
Yes it does! You swab-swabbling underbelly of half-quantum inaebraeo-formongerable elephantine mouse poop!!1!
I'm sorry dog but if you're talking crazy saying Little Caesar's tastes like ass and I look and see that you're part of r/PissSwisherAnonymous Imma call you out
I love it when failed stand up commedians try to troll you, fail, and cry to moderators when you guess who they are irl.
Then they get their podcast cohost to troll you and theu fail even worse.
Imma need more of this story please!
Better than them going through it trying to figure out where you live and what your identity is.
