I do this regularly. The „unfortunately“ part is not something I am willing to take ownership of and see it as a weakness of the platform. I also tend to be controversial in .world communities and I detest software that‘s trying to force me to behave in certain ways that are neither transparent, nor neutral in their judgment of my commentary.

That’s the same for up- and downvote balance. it’s bullshit. be it attitude or reputation.

Why am I forced to have certain voting patterns in order to be accepted as a trustworthy community member? That‘s arbitrarily authoritarian in order to subdue deviant behaviour without good reason or explanation before engaging in said community, which ux design displays up- and downvoting in the same manner? I‘m not being warned of such consequences for this arbitrary branding rule. Is excessive upvoting branded, as well? If so, in which way? If not, why not? It‘s dumb, that‘s what I‘m getting at.

Dunno man, I‘ve got the double red triangle exclamation mark for „very low reputation“. Certainly it „warns“ unsuspecting people and I had already at least one commenter, that mistrusted my commentary just for that. Cool. Cool, cool.

Don‘t have an account — do I also have an attitude, it doesn‘t show any publically?

Either way, branding users like that, intransparently, by machine logic, I certainly am not convinced.

Actually what? You stalked another user on another meme post about another topic to make no point at all. Are you a bit dim?

@Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml - what’s your defense?

Nobody ever said that they‘re all Nazis, not even the meme.

Also, you started by citing fiction to make a point using whataboutism.

You are not a sincere person.

You are. You are the loser.
