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.
“If gender is a social construct then gender dysphoria is a purely mental illness and treating it with surgery is abhorrent to the exact same level as lobotomising hysterical women in the past.”
I assume downvotes still aren’t being federated on kbin because a lot of my more nuanced opinions don’t seem to get bombed into oblivion here like on the rest of the interwebs.
I know this is probably bait, but I’d figured I’d try to explain the flaw in that logic.
Ignoring the fact that gender dysphoria is a real thing whereas hysteria isn’t, there’s a more fundamental issue:
absolutely, consent is the key.
I still think gender is purely performative and surgery can’t fundamentally change that (currently).
I hope one day we get rid of all trans people … because they can finish transitioning. /bait
Those ideas get you banned, not downvoted.
Anywhere that bans ideas isn’t a place I want to be anyway. The woke crowd are fond of saying sunlight is the best disinfectant and just as fond of unironically sweeping dissent under the rug.
Not being silenced by actual fascists and being able to interrogate my beliefs was key in becoming better informed on a lot of subjects that don’t have any place in my actual life.

You’re being downvoted because you’re operating with a theoretical framework which doesn’t match what we actually see in reality.
