You asked for an example of a condescending post but I admittedly couldn’t find one so I thought a condescending comment might give the same feeling.

I love how instead of debating the argument, you attack my character.

Try again. This time with a case against my argument and not my character. You can do it. I believe in you.👍

I usually don’t “downvote it for the lulz” I downvote because either I don’t think it deserves to be a “top” post or it’s condescending and negative, therefore it automatically deserves a downvote.

People downvote for a number of reasons and it gives the user power to let people be seen or not based directly on their input.

If you just wanna shout your nudes into the void with no input, you can do that on literally every other website.

This is a reddit type website, which means upvotes and downvotes. Not “just upvotes because downvotes hurts snowflakes feelings”. That’s not what this site is for and there’s no point in changing that because if you don’t want that, then why are you here?

May as well take upvotes away too. People post mean comments sometimes! Take those away too! Oh, someone reported something and said something bad in the report? Take those away too! Matter of fact, no more text on Lemmy NSFW at all! Just pics, no titles because those can be mean!

You see? Where’s the line?

There’s literally no point in interacting at all without downvotes. You’re taking away the user’s choice of what can get popular, that’s the reason sites like this are so popular. If this stays I’ll just go back to RedGifs. I can scroll all day there without votes and there’s more content.🤦‍♂️
