Why do people post things they have no interest in also discussing

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Sometimes I find things personally interesting, but don't have the energy or bandwidth to also discuss, but might later

Sometimes I come across something I think others will find interesting, but don't personally

Sometimes I don't initially find something I posted personally interesting but the comments catch my attention

Sometimes I come across something I don't find interesting, but it seems like it would be a niche thing with a niche Lemmy comm that could use some more traffic

Sometimes it's just a crosspost from a .ml comm to a non-.ml comm to help reduce .ml's influence and general boycott of them

Mostly when I post a meme there isn't much to discuss, unless someone poses a good question I wanted to engage with :shrugs:

If it doesn't even bear discussion, then why post it at all

Why do people make rhetorical comments?

You're my most upvoted individual on Lemmy, cm0002. You're currently sitting at +129 before I hit the button again for this post. Dear @Sunshine@lemmy.ca, who is a prolific poster too, is the only other to crack +100 for me (for now).

p.s. my votes are tracked by Voyager, after enabling the feature in the User Tagging settings, for those wondering

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I had that enabled, but then I felt bad because I had one user at like -50. They don’t seem to be a troll, they just have consistently terrible takes (imo) and try to make jokes at the wrong time. I’m not a big down voter, and I started to wonder if I was seeing the negative number and becoming prejudiced against them, so I got rid of it.

I don’t know what the record is now, but I at least don’t have a reminder of previous bad takes next to their name, meaning I stay unbiased as long as I ignore usernames, which I do.

Why don't you just mute people once they're past the -10/-20 mark?

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They’re receptive to other viewpoints, so I’ve had pretty successful conversations with them, they just start off with terrible takes. Plus they posted a couple of good memes and spurred some good conversation in the comments sections of those memes because of their perspectives.

When I noticed someone had a few downvotes, I took it as a red flag, but I don’t like to block people who aren’t trolls or awful people.

[–] smee@poeng.link 3 points 4 months ago

I see where you're coming from. Seems like we differ on how and what we downvote and in turn we should consider -20 overall in different ways.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hey Cheeseburger. I’m glad you like the content I post =)
