I used to be affected by downvotes a lot. I understand them on aggressive shitposts, but on comments with facts or comments that I've put a lot of thought in? It just doesn't make sense! It's like having a group of people think up ideas for something and then you share yours and everyone tells you to shut the fuck up. That sort of feeling. I never downvote. Either upvote or leave it, it achieves the same thing imo. Fortunately I learned that any interaction on general social media is absolute garbage and not worth the emotional (and even intellectual/mental) investment. I'm here because I'm a dumb addict. I am/was on small technical forums because that's where my interest lies and I can share and learn specific knowledge. Sadly it's all moving to Reddit nowadays, where you're one misclick away from drowning in shit.
