idk, but maybe cause your comment implies that this post has a political agenda instead of just being shared because it’s a legitimately mildly infuriating issue
The implication is in the eye of the beholder.
So is the downvote
gottem!
No, and in case you're interested that comment was downvoted too. IOW, some of you guys are just Philo haters that downvote on site so go at it.
Did… did you just refer to yourself in the third person…?
I mean this as objectively neutral as possible, it's not in any way meant as an offense or attack. Nobody here cares enough about you to "downvote on site."
Then explain why perfectly normal non-threatening or offensive posts are being downvoted. Is this a popularity club?
Yes. It's social media.
Oh yeah, I forgot, birdie groupies 😜
Your tone is pedantic and annoying, that’s why these particular comments are downvoted. I don’t know about the rest but maybe ask yourself why am I being downvoted instead of accusing others of downvoting for no reason
There was no "tone" as if you can hear the tone in a written post. I guess you can say my posts became annoying after I started asking about the downvoting but THAT WAS AFTER THE DOWNVOTING STARTED. So nice try, you were so close but ultimately you were low and outside.
Oh, so yelling is ok but only if you do it? Nice.
“has a little fun with megaphone use”
*Grabs megaphone*
DOWNVOTES DONT MEAN SHIT! SO SHUT UP ABOUT DOWNVOTES AND GET OVER IT!
Then why do people use them? And quit yelling.
To annoy people who think they mean something.
I wasn't yelling, megaphones amplify your voice.
Think you might want to look up what all caps mean on the internet. It isn't megaphone use.
What does a megaphone do? It makes things louder!
Now, how do we represent loud speech in text form? With all caps!
So, using all caps to represent me speaking with a megaphone is a correct usage of the all caps rule.
You are incorrigible and blocked.
People are attacking you, ganging up on you, one of the favorite things on Reddit like media platforms is to be hard core conformity enforcers and silence attempts at understanding mob mentality.
"MEDIA ECOLOGY DON'T MEAN SHIT I"M JUST HERE FOR AMUSING US ALL TO DEATH WITH DUMB MEMES"
Yes, you're definitely getting ratiod into oblivion because there's a shadowy cabal of around 30 people who spend their days downvoting your posts, specifically.
Definitely not just that your take is bad, and your response to criticism of that take is even worse.
My take is bad? Ok, can you tell me from my first comment what my take was? I'd like to hear that.
