Hate how people are downvoting this guy just for asking a question, like what is this, reddit?

I wouldn't worry about it. There's a very sad person who tries to downvote all of my posts on a regular basis.

I call that the validation downvote. Just means the federation is still working.

I think they're downvoting the Squid, not the content of the post. I imagine a poster like Flying Squid has made some enemies along the way, the kind of people who literally go and downvote all their posts.

I'll take what I said on Reddit and bring it here: Don't comment on downvotes, they don't matter.
