Downvotes on Lemmy don't mean anything. Think of the points on Lemmy like the points in Whose Line, they don't matter. Regardless, it could be a bot. There used to be one on Reddit that autodownvoted every post to "negate the self upvote" or some stupid crap. Basically, don't worry about the downvote, and keep enjoying life. Don't let the downvoter live rent-free in your mind. Let that idiot go homeless, lest s/he live forever in your brainscape for free.
nah we excise those types here.
Yes, don't let it get to you, but also, don't let it happen if you don't need to
I can see excising for hate speech. And for trolling. But you do so for a downvote? Or did I misunderstand?
E: cosecantphi explained what's going on. I understand now.
It's not "just a downvote" when it's clear they are targeting any and all posts on the comm specifically for and by trans people. It'd be absolutely ridiculous to think this is just a coincidence where they happened to find fault in literally all of those posts for reasons other than transphobia.
Yeah. I read your longer comment from earlier and it all makes perfect sense now. Sorry for sounding daft. I just genuinely didn't understand the extent. Sorry this is happening to you peeps :(((
That's pretty!
I had a friend named Kira. She wasn't trans, though, so probably not you. She was cool. I miss her.
Just so you know, this is a very refreshing attitude to see in terms of not understanding and then adjusting when it’s explained. I don’t know why it seems so rare to see, but it’s nice regardless.
I adjusted from 'not understanding' to 'understanding'. I guess, I did do it without any preconceived notions and did it with an open mind. I mean, and I don't mean to sound like "that person", but, if I'm not mistaken, you're a human and deserve the same type and level of respect as the next human.
