Not that anyone cares, but I give up on lemmy

Everything I post, even if factually correct, is downvoted within seconds without explanation

Every thread is a circlejerk of the same 3 topics, I learn nothing on lemmy

I’ve been sending people here everywhere else I go on the internet but I regret it now, every time I log in here it just makes me feel like shit

I really believed lemmy could grow to be an alternative to reddit but it’s 100% not happening and this place is going to die

    You have a few recent comments and a few older posts with downvotes, but most of your posts are overwhelmingly upvoted.

    The downvotes were earned, and maybe you should give more consideration to why people were disagfeeing with you on those few topics as there were replies that made the reason clear.

      Nah I actually just give up. I put effort into typing comments here and I realized it’s not worth it.

        Why spend time on self reflection and improving one’s understanding when you can just quit instead?

          Speaking of self-reflection… You’re not wrong but you didn’t need to be so mean about it. Especially in this context.

          And that goes for all of you too.

            Nah, I was nice at first but they don’t want to acknowledge the reality that most of their stuff is upvoted so this is the perfect context to mock them.

              Why is it the perfect context to mock them? It seems like you just care more about getting upvoted than treating another human being with empathy.

              Self reflection is hard; I don’t begrudge you for shying away from it. But don’t act all high and mighty in that case.

        No im upset because there is literally nowhere on the internet worth spending time anymore, and i thought lemmy was the last stronghold

          You are telling on yourself here, what do you actually want?? An echo chamber? If so, they are EVERYWHERE.

          If you desperately need the entire goddamn web to be one giant echo chamber (specific to your preferences, no less), you can kindly fuck off. The internet is not for you.

          Maybe go outside. Get some fresh air and stop putting all of your interests in a social media platform.

            I mean it’s almost universally shitty at this point

            Would give my left nut to go back to 1999

          Someone gave you an honest, well thought out comment and you went to “there is no where left on the internet”.

          The saying stands. You you smell shit while walking around, there was probably some shit around. If you smell it all day, check your shoe.
