Waking up every day and drinking that Hatorade.

If you don’t like anything on the the platform, why stick around?

        Maybe, it’s not clear:

        1. What you see in the image are the upvotes and downvotes I gave, not the ones I received.
        2. I’m on a Lemmy instance that does not have downvotes enabled at all. I can’t even downvote anything and if others click the downvote button on my posts/comments, nothing happens at all as far as I know. Maybe, their app shows that it worked, but I don’t think, anything happens.

          if others click the downvote button on my posts/comments, nothing happens at all as far as I know.

          I think it shares the downvotes within that instance (possibly with other instances that allow downvoting) so anyone else viewing the post from the same instance as the user who downvoted will still see it and their browser will use that when sorting the posts.

    Me:
    Total post upvotes: 3591
    Total post downvotes: 308
    Total comment upvotes: 15627
    Total comment downvotes: 2862

    I seem to upvote posts about 10 times as much as I downvote them, but comments only about 5 times as much. I need to get upvoting more comments.

    One of the reasons I enjoy being on an instance that doesn’t have the concept of downvotes :)

    An upvote is an upvote. A downvote is nothing. I love it :D

    If I had to guess, I also have more downvotes than upvotes, if you exclude my own content, which I’m pretty sure is counted for some reason.

    I don’t really tend to upvote much, I didn’t on Reddit either and I should probably work on that. On the other hand, while I don’t go through profiles to mass downvote, some users are tagged and deserve to be downvoted on sight ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I tend to downvote hateful content and disinformation. So is it “hatorade” to downvote hateful content and straight up lies?

    Though more often I reply back to tell people to tell them to try not to be so hateful and then I get downvoted. I cry myself to sleep every night when that happens :P

    While you’re judging people, someone else may be judging you. If you’re motivated by upvotes maybe consider going to reddit?
