Apparently I’m wrong about what something looks like to me.

Well what you said wasn’t exactly an opinion, it was an incorrect statement. The yellow border indicates that the person who was pinged took the photo.

I’ve seen your other comments, and it seems like you’re sour over getting downvoted because you weren’t able to notice a subtle difference that’s not easily obvious.
Personally, I like to be strict with the downvote button. It’s just something I picked up (and miss) from old Reddit: there used to be a strict culture on the site, which would lead to a high influx of relevant quality content.
In contrast, I saw a post on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world yesterday about the breakdown of the American demographic on the basis of religion. It was a cool graph, but not a shitpost; yet it had still gained more upvotes than downvotes.
Ultimately, I don’t think you should worry about it, as these votes matter even less on Lemmy than they do on Reddit.

No, I am sour because people are saying that I’m doing something I’m not because they can’t fucking read.

I didn’t feel the need to say it because @Wander1236@lemmy.world had already written a reply explaining it. All I could have done was paraphrase their explanation and create unnecessary cruft.
