What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don't think it's bad behavior in the first place, or don't care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here... One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it's small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do "Top Day" on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don't like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.

Defending violence from the bland corporate talking points of non-violent resistance.

People will say the dumbest "violence is never the answer" and then get upset when you point out they clearly don't believe that.

Any comment in regards to better personal budgeting gets down votes and the typical "avocado toast" response.

Pointing out that the replies to this thread are loaded with centrists and conservatives who are big amgy that they aren't praised for their genius when they take their right wing and centrist PoV opinions to known leftist and tanky instances instead of neutral discussion spaces.

trashing OS'es that I hate namely Windows and IOS so far. I get that it comes off as elitism and fine with getting downvoted. If I am expressing myself like this, than other users express themselves by downvoting. Nothing wrong here.

ok like 90% of Lemmy uses Linux. We know we all use linux, so when someone comes along and says something like "Windoze sucks, you should install Linux and free the penguin", 90% of your downvotes are coming from those Linux users who are facepalming at the futility.

It's like walking into a bar and yelling at the top of your lungs that everyone there should try alcohol, that it's way better than water.

Apparently posting a very old meme that is funny because it's not funny. Also making a reference to something not many people know about, moaning about learning to use new software being waste of time (I don't understand what was the issue. Maybe I was off-topic), and having an opinion that Apple is any good.
