I can't help wondering if some of the down-voting in this case is intended as ironic.
- Smithalicious 6y agoAs the old adage goes, "it's still shitposting even if you're being ironic".
- prepend 6y agoPerhaps my longest internet commenting rule is “downvote people complaining about downvotes”
- mellosouls 6y agoIts sometimes a fair complaint (if against HN guidelines) in an environment like this where you hope for a little bit more thought in when to down-vote.
- prepend 6y agoPerhaps. But always off topic and almost always boring. When I think I’m unfairly downvoted, I just try to reply with more detail and accounting for more possible interpretations. Or I move on.
