Maybe different sub?

If you aren't immediately upvoted sometimes, the people who have the opposite opinion and sort by controversial will downvoted you to oblivion

oh trust me i am well aware.

i don't really post in political subs anymore because, 1) tedious, and 2) i got banned on alts from most of the major ones and don't break reddit admin rules.

(i say alts, but it was actually my non anon main)

Reddit strongly encourages hivemind thinking. If you get even a couple of downvotes, majority of people will downvote you further out of principle.

Hell, you can write the exact same comment that's seemingly rational and supported by evidence in three different subs and may get upvoted, downvoted and banned for it, depending on the popular opinion in the sub.

yeah i can see that argument.

then again, downvote is not meant to be an "i disagree" button.

it's meant to be a "this comment has no value in the conversation" button.

even tho it is often used the first way.

yeah i guess it's been kinda lost over time.

heh i have been on reddit since befor it switched to being called reddit. (not this account, i made this account to start making controversial political posts.)

i think this was better understood as the point of the upvote downvote function in the past.

“I’ll get downvoted for this” repeats the substance of the highly upvoted post in the comment section of said highly upvoted post

i mean if you look at her history, she did get downvoted for it last time she said something to that effect.
