  complaining about downvotes and upvotes is a shitty post, not a shitpost

    I upvote the Dolly! He upvote the Dolly! Why not you upvote the Dolly?!

    Also: mild whoosh

      I don’t give a damn about Dolly. I won’t downvote it, but I sure as hell never cared about her.

  I don’t do it but I “get” it.

  For the last oh I don’t know- ever? Americans don’t give a shit about anything until a celebrity dies, and days later they no longer give a fuck.

  When I was in my 20s (dating myself here- old man shouts at clouds) and Michael Jackson died, the record store I worked at sold out of every Jackson album in about 45 minutes. We reordered 10 times our normal stock amount and by the time it came in 2 or so days later, nobody gave a shit any more and we had to send most of it back.

  The average American is so dumb- like goldfish. We’ve all heard the joke right? Maybe a 3 second memory? If it’s not in the headlines TODAY, it doesn’t exist to most people. It all just feels so disingenuous and fake. It feels as if most people’s reaction is just performance.

    Are you not aware of “being reminded of something” or “appreciation”

    It does come off as a kind of fake grief. I also block all the wholesome meme communities, so it’s annoying to see the regular meme comms get flooded with “remember when (celebrity) did this and showed everyone how good of a person they are”.

    Don’t really see the point in downvoting it but it definitely makes me roll my eyes.

      I also block all the wholesome meme communities

      And also because they’re full of “You’re special and great just the way you are” and similar nonsense. You don’t know me! These ‘wholesome’ messages are definitely reaching people who are not great just the way they are, people who really should change. These messages of vague positivity are pointless and meaningless when they’re not directed toward a specific person.

      But then you never see the “remember when John Brown burned down the slavers” memes

  It’s a conundrum. I want to upvoter Dolly, because she was incredible. I want to downvote news of her passing, because it makes me sad

    The only way to win is to not play. No voting at all.

  Let's keep posting and upvoting All Things Dolly! For two reasons: 1. Dolly Parton is awesome. and 2. It will piss off #47 that Ms. Parton is getting more attention.

    Dolly Parton is awesome

    was, let’s get it right

      Our Lady of Childhood Literacy may be dead, but she is not gone. SHE IS ETERNAL. ALL HAIL DOLLY

• OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  It’s me.

  1. I routinely downvote “this celebrity died” type posts, because I don’t care and I think it’s low-quality content, especially when it’s used as a vehicle to insert celebrity ‘news’ into communities that don’t normally cover that kind of thing

  2. I never much cared about her or country music, and I also tend to downvote things I find irrelevant and I don’t care about

  3. This one in particular seems to be generating a ton of posts all over the place, and I especially dislike hearing about it over and over again

    She’s not just a random celebrity. She did a ton of good.

      Which is the bare minimum that should be expected from extremely wealthy individuals

      Yeah they turn up about 4 or 5 times over the entire run. Usually to give Kramer a hard time. They’re characters that can go 0 - 100 aggression with a flip of a switch.

  Gonna make a ruling on this one.

  Anyone saying anything negative about Dolly is a terrible person.

    Dolly Parton passed away, and this OP is complaining that some people are downvoting posts about her.

    source

    • StealthLizardDrop@piefed.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      There’s 50 million (exaggeration) posts about it, not everyone cares

  I downvote people who complain about downvotes cause it gives me a little chuckle.

  Any celebrity with radio silence on the genocide of our time deserves zero respect. RIPBOZO.
