Once you’ve posted a comment that implies that China is imperfect in some way and received a truly spectacular number of downvotes, and then realised that it makes no difference whatsoever because Lemmy votes only affect your ego and nothing else, then you can move on. We aren’t “the other website”.
…oooooooook, not really sure what to make of thaaaaaat. Kind of like following a set of footprints in the snow and surrenly each footprint breaks off into different direction, and then a bear eats your eyes.
Ha ha, now you’re blind and terrified in sub freezing tempratures unclear on which way you came from.
That’s when you realize I only come to Lemmy to feed my ego, hoping to develop one, and feel better about myself in the distinct lack of a social life, I can at least find solice in knowing I made a funny that got 5,000 updoodles.
And until then, I’ll still think of myself as a massive piece of shit inconvienencing everyone by breathing, and cry into my pancakes.
The point I’m making, which I’m sure isn’t clear to like 90% of readers, is that upvotes make people happy when they’re proud of a comment or post. They come back, and see a bunch of other people liked it. And its kind of like Lemmys version of applause or booing. Ask any performer, they don’t do it for the money. They do it for creativity and validation of their creativity.
And it sucks that one guy/bot is just like NO! regardless of content.
