!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

You being downvoted is why I'm starting to hate lemmy.
They're being downvoted for being rude to someone just for expressing a desire to hide helmets in games.
In a clearly joking manner. Humor is dying slowly, killed by people who feel the need to rectally insert every statement they read, and I'm noticing it more and more on Lemmy. It's saddening.
I am generally a comedic person, but my humor sense did not tingle at this. Reading the guy's later comment in the thread only made me think it was more serious.
Go yell at the clouds.
It wasn't funny though. The words they used, the reaction, the context...none of it was particularly funny.
A joke that isn't funny and can be easily read as rude gets downvoted. Seems pretty straightforward.
Nice sock puppet account.
