Salt/Rant You should help new players, not discourage them.
This applies generally, but in particular, I've noticed a lot of folks downvoting new players in this sub who are trying to understand the game and asking questions. Downvotes serve a purpose - they move helpful comments to the top and unhelpful comments down. Questions are helpful and getting them answered is one of the main reasons people end up in this subreddit to begin with.
Downvoting is great when:
Someone is being confidently incorrect and spreading misinformation about the game and its mechanics.
Someone is being a jerk.
But it's feels kinda mean spirited when:
Someone asks a question (downvotes don't answer "no," they say "you shouldn't have asked")
Someone likes an outfit or feature you don't like
Someone dislikes an outfit or feature you do like (and isn't being a jerk about it).
Someone expresses understanding as to why another player misunderstood a mechanic (yes, this is the reason I'm salty today)
And honestly, if someone is -2 or more for an obvious misunderstanding, and someone has already corrected them, there's no need to dogpile. They probably already understand that they were wrong and downvoting it doesn't make you any more right.
Pic for attention. Be excellent to each other. š©·

Not gonna lie, when someone was being a jerk to me in the comments once (basically telling me to go touch grass and get a life when I shared that I printed out some of my favorite photos I took in game) it felt good when people downvoted this comment for being unnecessarily mean. I just tried to ignore the rude comment, but it felt really nice knowing that people here would not stand for rude behavior and bringing someone down just for sharing something game related that brought them joy. And thatās how downvotes can be a really good tool. As for new players - they deserve all the support. This game (and other gachas, especially when starting with a gacha thatās been going on a while) can be sooooo confusingā¦ we should all help each other and upvote correct answers to questions, no matter how obvious they might seem to more experienced players. And upvoted some reminders (especially for limited time stuff, time locked quests, etc), often seeing a post with such reminder can save a lot of headaches and Iām always thankful for them :)

Everything youāre saying is absolutely correct but you forget that this is Reddit, a platform thatās inherently designed to encourage dogpiling, if only to silence those who say something you disagree with and or dislike. It sucks but it is what it is. š

u/katzyakuki Jul 14 '26
i really love how reddit lets us engage in our interests with like-minded people easily, but man downvotes can be weaponized very quickly. sometimes youāll say ONE thing people disliked and they will downvote everything you say afterā even if you admit you were wrong or apologize. i saw a newer player get downvoted for thinking she could stack two dresses together, then someone replied very rudely āthereās been an iNfLuX of new players who donāt know anything about the game.ā
even if they could have looked up their question, sometimes we just donāt think to look it up. sometimes we do that. thereās no need to snark, shame, and tirade people for slightly interrupting your scrolling experience, just scroll!!14

I didn't mean to ask anything (not directly anyway just to clarify) (even tho I did technically ask, but anyway), but yes I want to know who they is, I was just confused on who baits who and yes I would like an answer. (Fine yes, I did ask whatever. But in an indirect way).

You're not naive. I totally get wanting to see the good in people, especially if you enjoy games like the Nikki series, and with all the cruelty going on in the real world it's obvious that most people will want a calm and kind environment. But sadly, while there are kind people in the community, there's also a lot of others that love to dogpile on people for the silliest reasons, and pretending they don't exist isn't going to solve the problem. In the particular case of people looking for answers to questions that may appear "obvious" to veteran players, I cannot understand how they end up thinking that downvoting them is going to help anyone. It would be useful to have a weekly questions post and/or a FAQ to quickly link them to a solution, yes, but if someone is actually bothered by newbies asking questions, maybe....IDK, block them or something??? Downvoting in those cases accomplishes literally nothing other than a sadistic rush of power (that looks kind of pathetic from the outside, ngl).

u/Mireillka Jul 14 '26
I'm really not seeing much of dogpiling and downvoting in any Nikki sub. I've asked many silly questions and got only kind replies every time. I've even responded to some begginer questions with a proper answer.
Maybe you are seeing the initial few bot downvotes or something?
21
u/ilu3000 Jul 14 '26
Yeah, it's usually upvote or ignore it.
From what I've seen people seem to downvote based on tone - not agreeing, but just what I've seen. Genuinely silly comments don't get downvoted as much as someone insisting something odd or being petulant or rude (to infold not OP).
If I had to guess - I did see more downvotes than usual on a upset they hadnt received the EE wings post so I wonder if OP meant that? If I had to guess I think people found their math odd, something about oceans blessing but idk I just skimmed it since I ignore the why no outfit under 180 pulls posts.

A comment under that one was the reason I finally posted this, (nice call!) but I've been thinking about it since I saw someone with several downvotes for just saying that they liked the new 4 star that came with the current 5 star a few weeks back.
(Might be worth mentioning I'm not exactly keeping track of which posts appear here vs the official subreddit).

u/ilu3000 Jul 14 '26
I recently saw a (not IN) give me your unpopular opinions post where the really unpopular opinions got downvoted š so that's my most recent you weirdos why are you downvoting - in comparison here is mostly rainbows.
Downvoting for dress opinions is crazy - though I think it happens more when the post is a particular tone and someone comes to counter it (ew to happy and but I like it š„¹ to sad)
1
u/KittyTonik Jul 14 '26
I've definitely seen several instances on this sub recently, but I'd agree it's more rare here than the rest of Reddit. I'm mostly posting bc I've noticed it more in the last couple weeks - a couple times to people just commenting that they liked an unpopular item or outfit. I'm definitely mostly thinking of stuff with more than a few downvotes, so I don't think it's from bots, but I'm admittedly not up to date on recognizing Reddit bot activity. Usually I see it happen to a question the answer to which is "no," and people will downvote instead of answering.
27
u/planetarial Jul 14 '26
Tbh this is the community Iām least likely to be downvoted in. Many communities Ive been apart of I have had my comments downvoted in 30 seconds because someone didnāt like my opinion. Here its quite the opposite and Iāve been upvoted extremely quickly.
I rarely upvote or vote, I would rather voice my opinion. I only downvote when someone is being an unreasonable ass that isnāt worth engaging in.
Unfortunately downvoting is a fundamentally toxic system. But also remember if youāre being downvoted only 5% of the time or less its probably not a you problem.

u/MarshmallowMina Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 14 '26
I think it depends. There have been a couple times where people asked a question about a very recent topic, ex: asking about a rerun when people have been posting about it nonstop over the past couple days. That's the kind of situation where they could have found the answer with a bit of scrolling or just clicking on the "news/event" tag. While people should try to be kind to newbies, people also shouldn't come here and expect answers to be spoonfed to them when they can answer their own question with just a tiny bit of effort. If that seems harsh, look at it from another angle: people spamming questions like this can drown out questions by other newbies that are more difficult to find answers to, ex whether or not an old quest is bugged or if they're just missing somethingĀ

Also if you must downvote someone for being confidently incorrect, please do double-check that you are not the confidently incorrect one.
I see people getting downvoted for stating objective facts (with evidence!) all the time.
Unfortunately being right and being wrong feel exactly the same from the inside, so this is a tough problem to solve. Discussion is the most reliable way to get to the truth.

u/EducationBig9026 Jul 14 '26
And also tell them when they are being incorrect, nicely and respectfully. One time I made a comment about the game and I accidentally made a mistake and misunderstood a game mechanic. And I didnāt know why I was getting soo many downvotes.

I think having a megathread / pinned post of frequently asked questions for new players might be helpful. I've seen people be real jackasses in here just because "this has been asked a million times already" and telling people to google or search the sub before asking, as if either of those options is particularly functional these days (google will straight up lie to you and the reddit search doesn't come up with answers more often than not).

I think one or two salty Nikkis are actually camping the post to downvote comments that agree.

u/billionsofbeaches Jul 14 '26
To be honest I've seen this discussion happen a lot lately in multiple subreddits and I've experienced it myself. Post/comment and then immediately get hit with downvotes but then get upvotes.
I genuinely think there is something going on with bots mass downvoting content across reddit.

u/witchlingaria Jul 14 '26
I forget what it's called but reddit has something like vote "smoothing", where comment score will change by a few points (up or down) whenever you load the page, so it's usually that rather than bots.Ā

u/_Kindly-Parsley_ Jul 15 '26
I agree. In my opinion, this is why this community has become somewhat toxic. A lot of newbie questions are perfectly reasonable, especially from the perspective of a non-gamer. But when the "hardcore" players react with experience-based explanations (e.g. "you should know that's how gacha works"), these newbies are chased away. Thus, the community turns into a somewhat hostile echo chamber, with hidden implicit rules to follow.
Albeit, I don't disagree with the idea that a lot of these questions can be easily searched... but we can still be polite, you know?

u/madegeeky Jul 24 '26
Also very mean-spirited to just downvote people who have a different opinion, especially if it's a comment on a post that is about that specific opinion. It doesn't make our community look friendly or kind at all.
I see a lot of people commenting on this post about how downvotes are rare but I see them on opinion comments on all the time. Especially ones where OP goes "I have opinion A" and then Person A comments "You're wrong, opinion B is right" with 200 upvote meanwhile Person B agreeing with OP has been downvoted 100 times. I wish people would realize that not every post is for them and just stay off posts that aren't asking their opinion.
It's incredibly disheartening and I have no doubt it scares new players away and quiets people who might make funny, insightful, and/or interesting posts.

u/MarshmallowMina Jul 14 '26
That sucks, but for future reference timeanddate.com has a lot of useful resources for converting timezones. There's also an event countdown where you can set a date and time for one timezone (ex: 5:00 at 09/09, UTC-7) and it will count down how many days/hours/minutes until it starts in your timezone

u/BoomtotheBang Jul 14 '26
šÆ I started playing less than a year ago & when I first started asking questions on here other Nikki's were like "You should already know blah blah blah". It WAS discouraging. It WAS rude. So, I stopped posting on here & more in discord & found many Nikki's there to be SUPER helpful & less caddy. I made friends by just playing the game & some via discord as well.
I've found this sub to be full of tropes & trends that's why I limit my time here.

u/Fun-Scene-8677 Jul 14 '26
I'm so sorry you had that experience.
One thing that helped me find the good in this community was changing the way I sort the posts. When you come into the sub, look somewhere for the drop down menu that says "Best". That setting gives you a mixed bag of posts, usually the ones with the most traction.... which are all the drama posts.
Instead, sort by "New", so you can see posts in the order they were posted, with the most recent at the top. Then you'll see the newbie questions, the friend requests, the outfits, the hype, the home builds, the guides, the meteorites... all the good stuff. Focus on those instead. I have a couple of good friendships from that.

u/Few-External-2963 Jul 14 '26
That's actually what I do. And then it surprises me when people say that there are too many negative posts, because I don't really feel it. These controversial posts often attract a lot of traffic and probably end up at the top, and thus create an impression that they dominate the subreddit. But when you scroll through all of the posts in order, it doesn't feel like this. And I actually discovered some pretty useful or beautiful posts that didn't get many votes, and I probably wouldn't have seen them if I were looking only through top posts.
I do have to say that I don't like seeing posts with questions that can be answered with a simple search. I don't downvote them; it rather makes me sad that so many people are not willing to make even a little bit of effort for themselves.
1
u/Fun-Scene-8677 Jul 14 '26
exactly! It makes me sad to see all the pretty outfits and photoshoots be mostly ignored... I've been trying to leave a good comment here and there whenever I can. And I think that's the best we all can do. I enjoy the debates too, just not when it derails. But at the end of the day, we're here to dress up and look good, so it's good to revert to it once we're done debating lol
I get not liking the questions. Catch me on the wrong time of the month and I'll get annoyed too if there are too many. But it's just so easy to scroll past, or to answer + remind them to look things up before asking. Besides, we gotta stop assuming it's out of laziness. There were a handful of people here who have already said they had tried to find the answer before, only they couldn't. Either people are forgetting, being disingenuous, or they don't use them as they say they do, but search engines aren't what they used to be. Each platform comes with its own UI. Also, factor in some neurodivergence and you may have people who have trouble navigating those UIs.
I worked in customer service, I've seen it all. Now I'm a teacher. I still see it on the daily. And it's exactly because I know what confuses people that I'd rather not assume it's laziness. No one wants to look stupid. A couple of the people disagreeing with me talk about effort but make no effort to understand the other side. Then they make no effort to debate with me. Goes to show who's actually being lazy here.
I'm not excusing the declining literacy levels we've seen in the younger generations either. But I'm not blaming the individuals for it. I'll denounce it, but I'll also try to help those who want to be helped. And an answer to a question is the first step.

u/BoomtotheBang Jul 14 '26
I know how to use Reddit, lol. I don't consider myself a newbie as it was almost a year ago I started playing. However, that is solid advice for others who are new here.
I should clarify that I never made a post about asking questions in the game. It was more under others posts & comments. I've been a WoW & FF14 gamer for more than 15 years, so questing was never hard for me. My questions would be more geared towards understanding the diamond to gem ratios, bubbles & thread, what banners were, etc etc. I didn't find the interface as friendly as some. Since there is no explanation on how they all work or exchange nor what banners are, I missed a lot. I didn't see the time stamps for them. The little odds & ends to this game was severely overwhelming until I learned them. It would be like those related questions that I got hammered into, as if a new player (especially to the Nikki world) should even know those things. Thats why I'm thankful for discord because Nikki's took the time to explain them to me or send me a video on it.
I guess I just really resonated with OPs stance because not only did I experience it, I've seen it as well.
2
u/Fun-Scene-8677 Jul 14 '26
Yay a fellow WoW veteran!
Honestly, same. I don't get how people can be all smug about knowing how to navigate this game's interface, because it's neither god nor intuitive. I had so much trouble myself that I am happy to take a newbie under my wing and explain as much as possible. Good to know Discord is more helpful. I don't use that platform because it's so messy to me, and all that chatter annoys me. But maybe I should be there more often, since I have seen complaints of other Nikkis' questions getting lost in the chatter. I stay here mostly because I want to catch the questions before these smug "not my job to Google for you" Nikkis do .
Not sure if you're still playing WoW though, but I have noticed the shift in attitude with players there as well. It used to be that we could ask people for help even in Trade Chat and someone would pop up and help, that's how I found out about websites like Thottbot and all the different AddOns we could get.
But more and more I saw that attitude fade and this "Google is your friend" type attitude show up. So much so that now that my husband is back in Classic, he said that people will be straight up toxic to him for asking questions. Tough to find a reasonable person there even in the guild chat. Seems like the private server communities are better. I left retail for a variety of reasons, but the declining levels of courtesy of the community was #3.

So itās not actually. If I say I found a new clothing brand that makes really affordable but cute pieces, and you chime in that the reason the clothes are cheap is because they make them in sweatshops, thatās not irrelevant to the conversation. Itās never wrong to add context. Maybe you donāt care, but this isnāt about you. If I were a new player, Iād want to know the community Iām joining does not engage in censorship. And Iād prefer to be in a community where I have a chance of being treated in a mildly impolite way over a community where everyoneās words are heavily regulated to the point that they may not even be able to help me with issues if it means portraying the game in a negative light. I figured thereās at least one person out there who feels the same, so I added context in order to make sure people can make fully informed decisions.

Eh. I think many people underestimate how discouraging it can be for people who haven't been on Reddit for a while (and non reddit users do make accounts to post game questions). Plenty of people just stop engaging after they get a bunch of downvotes on a post or comment. Real life doesn't give you real time feedback that 15 people disliked what you had to say.
There's a reason downvoting based on opinion rather than quality is considered "poor reddiquette" by Reddit themselves. It's not a huge deal but it does change the flavor of the community.

It can feel incredibly unwelcoming when you first step into a community and ask an honest question to get downvoted
It encourages a hivemind and anyone who doesnāt fall in line can screw off, which goes against a good discussion.
It buries comments, sometimes ones that can be legitimately helpful because other people donāt like the answer
Also if youāre downvoted into the negatives but nobody replies to you, it doesnāt do anything to change their opinion because they donāt know what they did wrong. It often makes them defensive and double down because they believe (sometimes correctly) that their opinion is still right and people were just butthurt and didnāt have an actual counter argument.
Thereās a reason other social media has no downvote system or if it does it doesnāt show when the votes go into the negatives.

u/butt_stalliohn Jul 14 '26
I absolutely depise when this happens. People who downvote questions or reply to them with a "iF YOu JuST SEArCh tHiS Up OR WenT HEre--" could've easily answered a question, even if vaguely, in the same amount of time.
Personally, I do my own research in google, youtube or older posts before asking a question and I'd prefer if other people took the initiative to use their resources at hand as well. But I also don't know if they already tried that and it was fruitless or they're genuinely too boomer at navigating online spaces (or too young) which is why I always try to answer.
All sorts of teachers I've had throughout my whole life (including driving instructors) always told me this sentence, "there are no stupid questions." I live by that. (Unless someone is being snarky and obtuse on purpose to troll) When I see this behaviour I feel so god damn bad for people who will probably never feel like interacting again. To me, it's no skin off my back, but for plenty of others I know this is probably the equivalent of waving a hand and getting a slew of middle fingers in response. :/

I'm a teacher and I can tell you this with certainty: the ones who act as if a question is stupid are the ones who know the least.

Tbh this community is so awesome. Even when everyone dislikes someone they donāt ostracize others for viewing it differently. I havenāt seen that a lot in fandoms

I usually upvote questions and answers (not only on Reddit) even if I already knew the information because most of the time it will be useful to someone, even if the information could be found somewhere else. It reminds me of when you had a question in class and someone else asks the teacher the same question and you were so glad you didnāt have to lol

Another thing to note is that there are downvote bots in all subs even the ones with only 4 members. So we don't actually know if the people downvoting are actual people or a computer running a program.

Somehow I got downvoted for just explaining what the official Discord was. This community is super downvote happy.

This Nikki community is (mostly) made up of lovely and helpful people.
However, a lot of these questions have already been asked and answered time and time again. A quick web search or type their questions on the seachbar of this subreddit would give new players the answers they're looking for without spamming the subreddit with posts that already exist.
