I can’t say I never downvote anyone but I get into these comment chains from time to time where really no matter what I post whoever I’m talking to downvotes every response but I generally shy away from downvoting even things I dislike. I don’t want to fall into an echo chamber where all I see are only the things I agree with.

    My dude, we are part of this platform and some of us seem to care. So I’d say yes, it runs on those as well, but way less than others.

      I’m not a dude.

      I was speaking specifically about the down and upvote systems as it relates to the fediverse.

      There are whole instances that don’t show votes at all.

        Everyone is dude, dude. I don’t care how they identify or what they are equipped with. Dude is neutral as heck.

        I know what you were speaking of, and I know those instances, at least some. Doesn’t change that we are not in a vacuum.

          I’m not particularly fond of being called dude as a woman, but you just clearly stated you don’t care.

          I was simply clarifying what I was talking about specifically in my earlier comment. OP is throwing a fit for being downvoted and banned from the womensstuff community with this post.

            Oh, and by the way, you are clearly caring about downvotes as you made sure to downvote my comments.

            It’s true. I don’t really care about you. I don’t know you and I will have forgotten what you wrote in five seconds. It doesn’t matter. I’m not here to hurt or insult you. I just don’t care enough.

            Be happy, feel free, block me if you want. It doesn’t matter.

              Did I ever state that I personally don’t use downvotes?

              If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t come back and comment multiple times at me. Must’ve ruffled your feathers quite a bit by asking for the basic respect of not misgendering me.

                I’m not misgendering you, as I told you, dude is neutral for me. You seem to not respect this decision of mine.

                And I don’t have any feathers to ruffle. Sorry for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                Goodbye, easily to offend person 💖
