/c/NotTheOnion post got downvoted because people didn't like the (real) article title

  I downvoted it because it’s not funny. It’s real, valuable information. It’s not the kind of thing that belongs in c/nottheonion because there’s nothing odd or funny about it.

    It’s not that valuable and labelling it as “climate solution” is really onion-worthy

    My trick is to sit in a pot and slowly bring it to a boil

  I wonder what the psychology of posting about being downvoted is. I’m a pretty opinionated dude and get downvoted from time to time, but I just move on with my life instead of turning it into a big production or even acknowledging it, really. Not everyone’s gonna like everything you write, and it’s not like you’re going for some high score to get into social media paradise or something. Think about where you’re spending your energy man. This ain’t a good use of anyone’s time.

    Honestly I just wanted an excuse to share the post more on Lemmy

    Voting is very ambivalent as well. Dislike, form, wording, structure, content, curation in community, instance, or personal…

  Honestly, I wouldn’t have thought that something with that title could have been an Onion article. And to me that’s what “Not The Onion” is all about.

  It doesn’t suffice that it’s simply a real article, it must make people wonder if it’s satire or not.

  In your case, maybe if it was worded differently, but the way it is, it doesn’t make me think it could be something I confused for an Onion headline.

  People sometimes don’t realize the context of the community a post was shared in. Def annoying though

  I’m confused, it’s satire or not?

    It is not satire, it’s a real article from the Washington Post

      Remember when the WaPo had integrity? Good times.
