I commented that I had switched to Firefox browser from a chromium browser and that I was still using it but really didn’t like it and listed a few reasons why and got more down votes on that single comment than I’d ever gotten total on reddit. The condescending responses were something else. I almost deleted my account, like sorry, I clearly don’t subscribe to the lemmy hive mind, so I don’t belong here. I also don’t have strong feelings about Linux, guess I should get fucked.
Comment on Reddit is a shithole

Meanwhile on Lemmy, you’ll get death threats for simply stating you’re an arch user.

As long as you’re not posting toxic stuff, you should just ignore downvotes because many people use them as disagree button instead of replying why they disagree with your points.
user224@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
Additionally there’s downvote bots. They can even stick around with you. You comment, and a few seconds later you’ve got 25 downvotes.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ve had people (on both Reddit and Lemmy) go through my post history and put their single downvote on every one of my posts. What the hell is the point of that?
sfgifz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well, the good thing about Lemmy is your downvotes don’t add up to some Karma like it did on Reddit. You’re free to state your opinion in one post without having to carry it around everywhere.
1984@lemmy.today 10 months ago
The total score is appearently stored on your user somewhere in the database but not displayed… Someone said. They lied?
sfgifz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I would assume it’s a hard thing to implement reliably in a system such a lemmy. You could just spin up your own instance and give yourself a ton of points if you really cared for the numbers.

I use Summit for my reader and it keeps a total post/comment score. Seems extremely inaccurate though
MBM@lemmings.world 10 months ago
You can always go through someone’s comments and add up the scores
AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You can do local counts as the instance owner can see that but afaik the who voted doesn’t federate. Might be wrong I need to go back through the docs.

If you were on a linux or heavily privacy focused community, that’ll do it. I don;t mention that I use windows, I just say I’m looking into the swap to linux.
AustralianSimon@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Which is weird because majority of the gaming and corporate world runs on Windows. I dual boot my systems so I have both available.
Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Reminds me of the time I got downvoted for saying that I’m not going to pre-emptively leave Chrome due to their plans to make adblock stop working until my adblock actually stops working.
shadowSprite@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What? Off with your head!

You can tell you’re perfectly in touch with the Lemmy use base by how your comment claiming they all are evil and hate you is upvoted a lot.
Rambi@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Reminds me of the “Everyone on reddit is a fucking moron” style posts and comments on reddit that would have like 10k up votes lol. I think the reason for it is everyone thinks they’re the exception
spez@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I posted a link in !technology@lemmy.ml about how mozilla had ruined firefox, damm got a hell lot of downvotes and a bunch of comments who hadn’t even watched the video going ‘hurr durr google baddd’
SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 10 months ago
Probably because mozilla didn’t ruin Firefox. Like at all. And the alternative is chrome which supports a global spyware system whose goal is ad revenue at the expense of the concept of privacy.
Whoops my bad this logical argument is invalid because I’m simply “hurr durr”-ing
Kittenstix@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Firefox not having tab grouping native on mobile is the sole reason I won’t switch from chrome, i run ad lock as a vpn anyway so nothing google is doing will affect me.
But also - 20 is rookie numbers, i think i broke -400 on one of my reddit comments years ago, I don’t even remember what I said, I don’t think it was even political as I lean pretty left.
anosym@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
Sorry that you feel that way but I can’t see why after checking out the comment. It has downvotes yes. But there’s only 1 out of the 5 replies that I could agree is condescending. And it’s at the very bottom. The other comments seem to be trying to be helpful (because your experience with firefox can easily be fixed). How would that make you almost delete your account? Unless I’m looking at the wrong comment.

The program go is not installed. Install it by executing:

iegod@lemm.ee 10 months ago
I will say my next PC I may try to go with a nix distro after being exposed to so many of the latest features, in no small party due to the sentiment on Lemmy.
Mind you, that doesn’t mean I won’t use windows but I am curious to try. The constant bashing though has gone from slightly unexpected to annoying to now just cute.
qyron@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
Not being an Arch user, I see that trend as redundant.
If half of what is said about Arch is true, the system by default tries to kill the user out of sheer exhaustion from keeping it running.
seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
I run Garuda, which is an Arch derivative. Never had much of a problem with it. I update it once or twice a week.
One thing it does is take a snapshot of your previous system before updating, so if something from the update breaks your system, you can roll it back.
1984@lemmy.today 10 months ago
What… That hasn’t happened to be at all.
Arch btw.

True I have yet to see Lemmy being any better. Although it’s good to see that even libtards are fleeing from Reddit.
