I'm pretty sure my bickering about the election. I was very unpopular during that period. Now I'm just regular unpopular. 👍🏾

This one: https://feddit.nl/post/1819542/1925630

The funny thing is, if you click on the context button and show all the comments, one agreeing with me has something like 120 upvotes, so I suppose I was just being too cheeky or something. Sometimes I wonder what proportion of people are using the downvote as a disagree button compared to as a "doesn't contribute to the discussion" button.

I mistook a VLC update for enshittification. Can't remember what the update was about because I deleted the comment lol

My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won't vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

I remember seeing this, I LOLed.

Without looking I’m pretty sure it was something about MLK’s dream speech where he mentions:

“…right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers…”

So, nothing massively contentious so far. The transcriber had capitalised the “B” of black but not the “W” of white. I suggested that seemed a very unequal way to address inequality. There was a mini downvote frenzy - eventually some diamond pointed out “AP” has a style guide that suggest capitalisation of one but not the other is correct. Seems weird, but there it is.

For context I asked if there was a way to disable "tips and tricks" (aka ads) in the lock screen in Windows without activating Windows. I was told to use NAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts, that can activate windows) in github but I replied with "without activating Windows"

"This is the reaction to the other side's reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs."

It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they'd be in power forever because they're objectively "right."

Not the case.

Bunch of ones where I’m defending Hexbear downvoted 0 to -5, but then I found this one:

Context is something about the election. The post is deleted, so idk what the photo was of, but I was responding to something about how not voting or voting for a 3rd party makes you a Trump supporter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

"context is important"

I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I am not sure. A mod already deleted it and I don’t care enough to look it up. Probably some dumb shit I wrote while being on autopilot.

"Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal."

About Dragon's dogma 2's character editor system.

They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.

Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.

BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:

" I'm going to be downvoted to hell, but I'm loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn't play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.

Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.

The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else... Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won't. "

I think those downvotes are justified. You should only have to pay for things that give you MORE playtime

I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that's the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that's all I know

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I've been to a private school, and it sucked. this is just my (German) experience though. so I would've probably down voted you as well.

More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they're finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn't do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.
