    I’ve used reddit forever—stopped caring about downvotes long ago. You have to realized that the main demographic of any site like reddit or this, specifically the people with accounts, who vote, and comment, are like 50% autistic college age kids (at least on reddit). Those autistic college age kids are now 30+ here on lemmy since reddit has been banning for a while now (remember the ellen pao bans? the chapotraphouse ban? The Voat exodus that turned into lemmy users as well?). Yeah, people suck on the internet. They downvote for no reason. You just develop a thick skin and stop complaining about downvotes or you ban yourself.

    My guess is that we’re getting downvoted here, but do you really care?

    No, because I know that the people who are downvoting me are probably autistic 20-somethings. I’m superior to them—I’m an autistic 30-something. I know they’re probably stupid because they have yet to develop their frontal lobe enough to participate in normal society so they downvote on lemmy/reddit. I know this because I was that person 10 years ago on reddit—I made my account when I was 17 and I said a ton of stupid shit on there. Who cares.
