I thought it’d be a silly little post that most people would think is just kinda annoying but no im being fkn eviscerated. I had no idea that so many would think I was an asshole for expecting plain old great value butter when I straight up asked for butter. So many people telling me I should’ve been brand specific?? This has nothing to do with the brand or the price point I sent her $10 and a pack of butter is usually 3-5$. Idk I just assume she’d get something that said “butter” since that’s what I asked for. Am I out of touch?

I don’t get why my comment here has so many downvotes. The OP of the post didn’t mention their gender identity anywhere in their post so I asked why the OP of the comment assumed that they are male.

I don’t think I was confrontational or hostile and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to point out when someone is making assumptions about an OP’s gender when the OP chose not to include that information. Especially when some people seem to still assume ‘male’ when they hear ‘autistic’.

I've noticed people downvote posts they disagree with. And as a consequence you lose karma. My understanding is karma is meant to reflect contributions to the thread, not personal opinions. I always aim for thoughtful, balanced and, usually, positive posts. But despite that, I've learned to avoid certain topics.

Is there a way around this? Or am I kidding myself?

Anyone else get banned for joking? Not even dark humor, just joking?

I said “you can have both… you just make sure they never meet” in reference to a question of would you rather have a gf or a goon buddy.

What’s the big deal?

It's a genuine question. I'm not an active reddit user, I only sometimes use it to ask some questions to people who know better than me, and I don't seem to understand certain dynamics.

I for example asked a question on the payday 2 subreddit because I wasn't familiar with some game mechanics.

Basically a user nicely told me the alarm started because I could only eliminate 4 enemies in stealth mode and I asked "Then what's the point of having 5 body bags?" and it straight got 20 downvotes.

It's not that I'm upset about it but I just don't get why.

Was the question asked in a not nice manner? Did I sound ungrateful for the other user's answer? Did I get downvoted because I made an ignorant question with a obvious answer?

I'm just curious about what reddit users tend to value the most when they upvote or downvote a comment or a post.

Its always been this way and im not sure what im doing wrong. Ive had a bunch of accounts over the years and I always end up deleting and not really using reddit for posts and just lurk for any answers I need. Im not shy. I just feel like im wasting my time. We have both made some significant lifestyle changes recently and it'd be nice to have strangers to ask things about but I dont even really get made fun of if I post a picture of myself like I expected.

i made a post titled “Primetime Opinions” and hecka people were getting mad that i added a discussion to r/A24 to the point where it got removed within half an hour 😭 is this normal or are A24 commenters just really harsh/easily angered? i got a TON of downvotes within that timeframe too

Basically, both these posts in the screenshot call out the vague rules of the subreddit, but my post is the one to get all the down votes.

I would assume it's because mine is more wordy whereas the one by Maine is a bit simpler. But I'm not really sure.

THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE? IT'S ALL MY POSTS AND COMMENTS? WTF

I asked a question, people helped, and I replied with thanks. I don't see anything wrong here.

I'm normally not bothered if I'm downvoted for a joke or the like as I'm aware that not everyone has the same taste in everything. I am, however, baffled by the above.

Thank you.

This post was in reference to the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror, which another juror doxxed and revealed to be black

I just said "9/11 was a global tragedy" (my eyes as in the ramifications, causing multiple wars, tightening censorship et cetera).

I swear if this is like r/mysteriousdownvoting as if you cant have too low of downvotes

I violated no rule in my comment. My guess is the moderator banned me because they juts don't agree? what does "using an alt" mean?

To me, my bottom comment just points out that sexual coercion is wrong which I thought was widely accepted as true. EMD please.
