Yeah doesn’t it really suck when people use some arbitrary point system to indicate that you don’t quite measure up to others?
I like it in here. I like Lemmy. I like being sometimes upvoted or even I like being downvoted because I can understand why what people think. Sometimes it will make me change my mind or at least re-think (reconsider). Sometimes I know I will be down devoted and I post anyway just because I want the conversation to rise (to move) in some direction.
For me it’s no more arbitrary than when talking with someone and seeing if they smile or if they frown.
P.S. : my previous comment in this tread was :
spoilerit’s even more controversial to discuss the three percent IQ difference in (average) intelligence between men and women. For example, see how this comment will be downvoted, even if it is true.
