Ask Lemmy

I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.

I posted a meme of Trump giving the viewer the double fingers with "Cry Harder" as a caption.
It was intended to be sarcastic, as in NOT Pro-Trump, and a cursory view of that account's posting history would support that view. The crowd went berserk and that account was banned from the Political Memes, News, and asklemmy.....

Don't know actually. mbin doesn't support sorting comments by... points?

There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.

I replied something like "Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine".

While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.

Must be this one, but the downvotes were part of the game in that thread so I guess it doesn't really count. Other than that I've never gotten more than like 3 downvotes on a post.

Replying to someone claiming NFTs are a scam:

One small but important correction. NFTs are not a scam, it's an amazing technology that has the potential to revolutionize lots of stuff, that became popular when people used it for stupid shit.

Saying NFT is a scam because people have used it to scam others is like saying phones are a scam because people call others over the phone to scam them.

NFTs are essentially a decentralized token. This means that they can be used to represent anything you might want to represent with a token, e.g. ownership of a physical object such as a car or a house; ownership of a digital asset, such as a website or game; some predetermined amount of something, similar to a stock or bonds; etc. The fact that some people used it to mean ownership of random pictures and people thought buying random pictures on the internet for a ridiculous amount of money was a good idea tells you more about people than about the technology.

This comment

The post was a news story about a sports arena calling a kid to the front and saying Santa got him a new PS5 but they didn't end up giving him one.

A top comment claimed this is legally considered theft. I replied saying it's shitty but it's not legally theft. Got 91 downvotes for that.

All my other downvoted comments come from posting in video game communities about how I don't think video games need to exist forever.

Agreeing that blocking ads is a form of piracy

Saying: "Google says stalking is a crime in 50 US states." gave me 29 downvotes. The question was: "Would it be legal to crowdfund a licensed private detective to investigate a public figure and publish their results publicly?"

I'll never understand why people give a shit about votes on a form of social media that is clearly pointless. This place is a timepassing entertainment vehicle full of trolling and silliness. The points don't matter. Why care?

Up there with people who waste their time browsing other users history so they can remark about it.

One has -45 and that was when I told someone, who I since blocked, that I wasn't going to look up something I knowingly talked about because of such thing existing. Which was knowing about Steam allowing people in the EU to re-sell their games. And they replied to my post being all like "SOURCE?" like as if it was some big fucking debate. Like dude, I wouldn't be saying shit if I knew what I was mentioning was a pure lie. I knew what I was talking about and people always think they're being coy by asking for sources and shit. I'm not here to hold your hand, the ball was in your court.

A lot of the other massively downvoted comments of mine, were just me responding to some of the low-life bastards that frequent some instances that come at me with their lame ass responses. Whom I also blocked because I'm not going to entertain their shit as long as they want me to. They just don't like people talking back to them.

Suggesting that the cold-blooded murder of an unarmed man is morally indefensible. We all know what I'm talking about.
