I got the first down vote within seconds of making the post, which was hardly enough time to read even the first paragraph. It seems some people just see "Nintendo" (or maybe it's my name) and just downvote it.
Not sure why people follow the community if they don't like the content.
I’ve noticed it too, the people of Lemmy really despise Nintendo.
Now, why would your comment get a down vote? What could the person down voting mean by this?
That they don't despise Nintendo? Or that they don't agree that people of Lemmy despise Nintendo? Or that they didn't like that you noticed it?
Well, good thing I generally don't try to analyse these. 😀
I think a lot lemmy user are pc gamer. I have never seen a statistic, but just guessing from the post people do in the jrpg community. And That's fine, but it's fine as well to prefer consoles or using them as well.
I don't want to say pc gamers all hate nintendo, but probably a few
Partially that, but Lemmy also has a much stronger anti-capitalist/pro-socialist streak so the corporate pile-ons can be a lot fiercer.
Can you blame us? They sue their own fans. Fuck Nintendo.

Had never seen this video (even though it's 14(!) years old)... but I love it.
Immediately added it to my favorites.
Heh, that's a great video. Will probably share with some angry commenters in coming days 😀
I won't use the same words, but the video missingno shared captures the sentiment.
It's completely fine for you to hate Nintendo, even I don't agree with some of the things that they do, but that doesn't mean spoiling fun for others. You are more than welcome to share your opinion on any related post, for the rest, you can just ignore them and move on.
Lemmy has become a lot less civil over the last several months. It’s been disappointing to see, and I engage a lot less. Reddit banning people like crazy hasn’t helped.
Yes everyone has gotten so angry lately. I get why… but it’d be nice to still have some nice online spaces.
Didn't know reddit was banning people, what happened?
I left when the API changes put third party apps out of business, so I don’t have firsthand experience with it. From what I’ve read here on Lemmy and elsewhere, they’ve just gone off the deep end with automated bans and refusing to properly consider appeals.
One thing I saw that at least some subreddits were doing was to ban anyone using the name “Luigi” in a comment or post, even if they weren’t talking about Luigi Mangione.
My guess is that they chased away all of the good moderators, and what is left is shitty, power-hungry mods and bad automation.
There are communities here on Lemmy that continually talk about these issues with Reddit. Lots of the banned users are ending up here (and with that comes good and bad things).
Ah, okay. I left reddit at the same time, during the great exodus. These days only open the site if it comes up during search for some info. It has tons of info from all those users using it for couple of decades.
Agreed. It is still a marvelous repository of info
This comm has an absurd amount of downvote fairies. I'm not sure which is more pathetic: setting up a downvote bot, or being terminally online enough to constantly refresh all/new and reflexively downvote anything you don't like.
Heh, it's my first time hearing the term, that's a funny name.
I mod a community, every post got a downvote within a short amount of time until we mods got the feature to see who does up or downvotes. I wouldn't do anything, the person never post something, so i can't anyways, but if a person downvote something so much, probably it would just be easier to block a community to not see their stuff anymore. The rule is good and i need to take you maybe as a rolemodel for my communities.
I agree, Cosmic, our mod, had the same issue in his other community. I would prefer not to ban anyone though, so hopefully this will solve the problem and it won't come to that.
DOWN VOTE
Just kidding—sensible new rules, thanks for posting. 👍
Oh sh—. Now I've done it.
Definitely your name. Slimes are meant to roam the countryside freely, not be confined to some ranch.
No no, it's a slime who is a rancher, not a ranch of slimes. 😀
