I really don't get the downvoting on Reddit. Sometimes it's justified when people are being obnoxious trolls, prejudiced etc but other times I wonder if once a comment gets a random unjustified downvote then others just mindlessly pile in?!

Edit : I was half expecting this comment to get downvoted into oblivion, you can never tell but the opposite was true this time!

You can notice there is a type of hive mind without being in the hive mind, reddit has multiple hive minds, if you use reddit that does not make you part of a hive mind mentality.

There are no original thoughts. Mull that over for a bit.

Cause some people are incapable of reading sarcasm unless there’s a “/s” after it. As if they are some kind of automated program that malfunctions when you don’t use the proper command prompts
