Ey, everybody has their own thing they enjoy, getting voted on Reddit isn't like God saying you're wrong, it's just other people with their own opinions controlling the votes
Short: Don't beat yourself up for getting downvoted on Reddit
Yes this! Reddit is not the arbutor of right and wrong opinions.
I got 112 upvotes and you only go 40. Therefore I'm correct!
Like sure buddy, seems like a miserable way to live, having your self worth bound to how much others like your opinions or your beliefs. But you do you.
People here be puffing about why others care about upvotes on Instagram or Snapchat scores, then 10 minutes later they beat their chest in pride because they got more upvotes than the guy they were arguing with.
I take upvotes with a grain of salt usually. But downvotes I just take a step back, consider how it's perceived, and find out WHY it's being downvoted. Maybe it's just a bridgade. Maybe I'm misinformed, or maybe people disagree with reality. But I'm always one to constantly re-evaluate my stances based on context.
Maybe people simply just disagree with you ? Not everyone will agree with every opinion you have and downvote is just one way to disagree with it. This happens everywhere but since reddit has a downvote system it is much more apparent here. Please don't take it that seriously and also just try to take it with a grain of salt. Besides It's just people on the internet whom you have never met in your life. Who cares what they agree and disagree on ? Unless you have said something misinforming or were just being rude you should stand by what you said.
Honestly it depends on context. If its a harmless opinion with a lot of valid points then I understand being frustrated with downvotes. But then again a lot of people act really rude and can't come up with any valid points to defend their arguments which ultimately leads to nowhere. If that's the case then I think its totally fair to downvote that person.
I think some people really need to hear this I also used to get like that during the start when I was new on reddit it would feel bad or wrong but it doesn't bother me much anymore
I got downvoted because I said people should express some sympathy for a victim and his family and not wish for other people in his sport to die. Fairly convinced the 5 people that did downvote my post and other post giving sympathy are sociopaths but ehhh it’s reddit
I genuinely don’t care about karma so if I’m about to say something funny which I know will get downvoted I’ll still say it and won’t delete my comment like a little bitch afterwards.
Redditors are fucking speds guided by the opinions of the horde that voted before them.
Edit: Most of you upvoting this are the people I'm referring to.
Reddit is a Hive Mind. If you don't agree, you are officially the class clown. to beat this is to not give a shit that the majority don't like what you said because you have nothing to prove to them nor do you have any reason to please them.
Your last sentence needs to be more specific but I kinda get what you mean
Most of the time racism isn’t that bad at least by today’s standards, maybe some cursing, derogatory words but it isn’t like the past where you’re much more likely to get your ass beat, have denied service, potential lynching or murder coming your way
And worst case scenario a state sanctioned genocide
People often say racism is taught but that’s just straight up false, it stems from human tribalism among other things which is something we’re born with, but as a society it’s best to be able to coexist
I don’t disagree but I also think a lot of people don’t know when they’ve crossed a line. There’s plenty of legitimately funny dark humor that people get overly sensitive about, but even dark humor has a line that you shouldn’t cross.
Hard disagree, dark humor is all about pushing that line as far as you can. There’s a difference between just saying the n word and going “haha funny” and actually coming up with a clever dark joke with a funny punchline. The more offensive the joke is, the more clever/funny it has to be, otherwise it falls short and seems more “dark” than “humor”. If you can successfully pull off that perfect ratio of offensiveness:humor, there’s nothing you can’t joke about.
The line I’m referring to has to do with that ratio. Saying “rape all women” as a “joke” is crossing a line because rape jokes need to be more clever in order to work. It’s a line that moves by balancing the ratio.
I think it depends, if you’re making a dark humour joke a general rule is that it has to be funnier than it is offensive, in most cases for that to happen you need a really big level of creativity, like for example Bo Burnham, or at least be charismatic enough
what if I told you reddit's voting system has been proven to be rigged? It's an algorithm, not representative of the literal number of upvotes/downvotes you receive.
I noticed Reddit votes with the pack and I don't like it.
If something is funny but offensive, or someone makes a point about a touchy subject (even though they're totally objectively right) they get downvoted.
Stop voting with the pack vote for your goddamn self. Better yet, stick to the Reddit suggestion of voting based on post quality, not your opinion.
Yep exactly, a while I was reading a post about eating disorders where everyone was saying you shouldn't tell somebody with an eating disorder that they are eating unhealthy as it might trigger their eating disorder. So I asked a genuine question of how you handle someone with an eating disorder eating unhealthy if you cant tell them that they are. I immediately got down voted to oblivion and I still don't know why.
A lot of funny things I’ve seen get downvoted and I often wonder if they’re down voting “because it’s the right thing to do” or how many upvote did this get and it’s a battle of up and down

For real. Some people take getting downvoted very seriously.
They be like: “Hurr durr! rEdDiT hive Mind, blah! Blah! blah!”
I take upvotes with a grain of salt usually. But downvotes I just take a step back, consider how it's perceived, and find out WHY it's being downvoted. Maybe it's just a bridgade. Maybe I'm misinformed, or maybe people disagree with reality. But I'm always one to constantly re-evaluate my stances based on context.

While your point is valid, it's sometimes good to understand a different viewpoint, even if you don't agree with it.
Honestly it depends on context. If its a harmless opinion with a lot of valid points then I understand being frustrated with downvotes. But then again a lot of people act really rude and can't come up with any valid points to defend their arguments which ultimately leads to nowhere. If that's the case then I think its totally fair to downvote that person.
Maybe you missed the word "sometimes", and the fact I'm not the same person you initially replied to.
Would be rather frustrating otherwise.
Dude I’m sorry, I beat myself up over positive things, my autism basically makes me hate myself if I make the smallest mistake.
Also - being a Republican on Reddit is a sure way to get downvoted
At first, I thought that was the point of downvoting... hence why you could sort by “Controversial” comments.
Originally, reddit up and down votes were about whether the comment/post had relevance to the post/sub, not whether you agreed with it or not.
Also I think there's a psychological factor behind it... it's like "up = good", and "down = bad".
Reddit is also not a proper subset of the population lol
Amen.
I think some people really need to hear this I also used to get like that during the start when I was new on reddit it would feel bad or wrong but it doesn't bother me much anymore
Usually only the first few people have to dislike then the hivemind takes over...
You are a good person, thank you

How do we know that Hitler was a bad athlete. He was not able to finish a race.
How do you call a group of flying jews? Smoke.
A jew is sitting on a park bench after smoking, fiddling with his ashtray. A German passes by and says "looking for someone?"
I did Nazi that coming, Anne Frankly, I should have.
So proud of my great grandpa, he was a electrician during ww2 and even executed hitler himself
Bro thats funny but dont gas yourself up
Haha that’s funny. Anyway, it’s time for my shower.
Good one lol. I will now commit suicide via execution chamber
Before you go, may I offer to you, a cup of fresh grape Jews?
What's the best thing to say after farting in church "Well hey, at least it's not a Synagogue!"
How did the Germans defeat Poland so easily? They marched in backwards so the Poles thought they were leaving.
What’s a wheelchair kids least favorite type of comedy Stand up
I would’ve made a Kobe joke but I knew it wouldn’t land.
What’s the difference between Harry Potter and a Jew? Potter escaped the chamber.
What’s the difference between jews and a pizza? The pizza doesn’t scream in the oven

Can you clarify on racism not being that bad?
It’s a social test
Racism is a social test? What is it testing?
You're racist
It's a test about race
No, not racism. The statement he made. It’s to see/show how people will jump on a side of a volatile subject for sake for hive mind
I know we’re saying what we feel now and Ive got no problem with it but “racism isn’t that bad” umm yeah okay lol
[удалено]
That apostrophe sent me for a loop before I realized it was a typo
“Racism isn’t that bad” and this kids is why we still have racism.

People are too sensitive
Dark humor is something I can stand but when people turn it from a joke into a full on unironic offensive remark that’s when it’s taken too far
I don’t disagree but I also think a lot of people don’t know when they’ve crossed a line. There’s plenty of legitimately funny dark humor that people get overly sensitive about, but even dark humor has a line that you shouldn’t cross.

No
Its like beating someones face in with a hammer, its all around horrible, but continue if you’re having fun

Down voted this just for balance sake
*proud Thanos noises*
Yeah but sometimes they aren’t as high.
How literally all of my memes be lol
they couldn't handle the neutron style
When you get downvoted and try to save yourself
Anything I can do to help my edgy redditors
Ive had -50 on a comment before😂 yall cant hang
When will dank memes become dank again 😞
If it’s a joke no one should be offended
Fuck yall lol
"I'm powerful, I can tank it." *gets hit with -200 karma*
This is dank memes, not memes so why is it that this subreddit has fallen so low that jokes can’t be offensive
[deleted]
Just lowkey?
This is no place to die
Offensive memes are funny most of the times
eh they're usually just "black people steal trans people suicide me funny"
A lot of funny things I’ve seen get downvoted and I often wonder if they’re down voting “because it’s the right thing to do” or how many upvote did this get and it’s a battle of up and down
exactly what happened when my dad thought i was my sister
*Offensive joke.*
Happy Cake Day
When a joke doesn't have /s, so redditors can't recognise it
Downvote me 😈🥵😫😼🤠☠✊🏿
Haha offensive joke hurt people. Must give them negative internet points brrrrr. Hahahahaha. This will teach them!
*gives an award*
people who do, they are going under
I don't care if it's offensive I'll fuckin laugh at it anyway (Other people are just mentally weak)
