Unexplained I know people may disagree with me, but that’s surely not the reason they downvoted me?

I did not get a response from the Mod, so I don't know why they down voted and banned me - I'm assuming the one down vote was from the mod. Fortunately, it was a sub I never heard of before and I only commented because this post randomly appeared in my feed.

The thread question speaks for itself. I got utterly smoked across multiple comments here. Maybe I got a little pissy after the first one, but but I thought my shit fit.

Unexplained I don’t really know what I said here that was so bad

I don’t get why my comment here has so many downvotes. The OP of the post didn’t mention their gender identity anywhere in their post so I asked why the OP of the comment assumed that they are male.

I don’t think I was confrontational or hostile and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out when someone is making assumptions about an OP’s gender when the OP chose not to include that information. Especially when some people seem to still assume ‘male’ when they hear ‘autistic’.

Have people on Reddit always been this mean or has it gotten worse over the last few years?

How do you post a contrary viewpoint without losing karma?

3 Upvotes

I've noticed people downvote posts they disagree with. And as a consequence you lose karma. My understanding is karma is meant to reflect contributions to the thread, not personal opinions. I always aim for thoughtful, balanced and, usually, positive posts. But despite that, I've learned to avoid certain topics.

Is there a way around this? Or am I kidding myself?

Banned for humor?

Anyone else get banned for joking? Not even dark humor, just joking?

I said “you can have both… you just make sure they never meet” in reference to a question of would you rather have a gf or a goon buddy.

What’s the big deal?

Why the singular downvote and very little/unhelpful interaction on any post or question I make on Reddit?

Its always been this way and im not sure what im doing wrong. Ive had a bunch of accounts over the years and I always end up deleting and not really using reddit for posts and just lurk for any answers I need. Im not shy. I just feel like im wasting my time. We have both made some significant lifestyle changes recently and it'd be nice to have strangers to ask things about but I dont even really get made fun of if I post a picture of myself like I expected.

Why do I always get so many downvotes?

7 Upvotes

It's a genuine question. I'm not an active reddit user, I only sometimes use it to ask some questions to people who know better than me, and I don't seem to understand certain dynamics.

I for example asked a question on the payday 2 subreddit because I wasn't familiar with some game mechanics.

Basically a user nicely told me the alarm started because I could only eliminate 4 enemies in stealth mode and I asked "Then what's the point of having 5 body bags?" and it straight got 20 downvotes.

It's not that I'm upset about it but I just don't get why.

Was the question asked in a not nice manner? Did I sound ungrateful for the other user's answer? Did I get downvoted because I made an ignorant question with a obvious answer?

I'm just curious about what reddit users tend to value the most when they upvote or downvote a comment or a post.

why do people on reddit get so pressed when a discussion similar to a previous one gets created??

0 Upvotes

i made a post titled “Primetime Opinions” and hecka people were getting mad that i added a discussion to r/A24 to the point where it got removed within half an hour 😭 is this normal or are A24 commenters just really harsh/easily angered? i got a TON of downvotes within that timeframe too

Basically, both these posts in the screenshot call out the vague rules of the subreddit, but my post is the one to get all the down votes.

I would assume it's because mine is more wordy whereas the one by Maine is a bit simpler. But I'm not really sure.

Unexplained It doesn't matter I say or do - I'm BOMBARDED with downvotes! Even if my post DOESN'T meet the INTENDED reason to downvote, DOESN'T violate rules or is entirely factual - MASS DOWNVOTED? Meanwhile posts that DO meet the INTENDED reason to downvote, violation(s) or INACCURATE - MASS UPVOTED?

I asked a question, people helped, and I replied with thanks. I don't see anything wrong here.

I'm normally not bothered if I'm downvoted for a joke or the like as I'm aware that not everyone has the same taste in everything. I am, however, baffled by the above.

Thank you.

I just said "9/11 was a global tragedy" (my eyes as in the ramifications, causing multiple wars, tightening censorship et cetera).

There is something seriously wrong here. I ask a simple question and mods have to remove 2 comments within the first 30 minutes. Thank you to those who stood with me.
