MODERATORS
Thanks for the reminder! I’ve been giving less of a shit ever since getting off of Reddit. I’m not even sure why. I think it’s something to do with we’re all starting fresh. It’s a bit liberating actually lol
Don't tell me what I can't do!
Oh yeah. I don't normally pay attention but did notice I had one out of no where and then recalled I was in a back and forth with someone who reminded me of typical reddit dwellers. Im sure he likely did the typical reddit go through the users activity and downvote everything that was so common from those types.
I don't care about downvotes except for one reason. I often wonder if there was something I said that could be a good debate but the person took the easy route. Lost opportunity on both sides, if they had something to really contribute.
Every single one of my posts has at least one downvote. Just the way it is.
Fuck fake internet points; I speak my mind.
I'm 38. I ran out of fucks to give nearly a decade ago. Don't like what I have to say? Don't read it. Freedom of speech, motherfucker.
I really hurt some little puke's feelings to the point that they follow me around and downvote.
I love it!
So fucking much!
Edit: I block at least one person a day but usually more, and I think I accidentally blocked whatever lunatic was doing it. I have concluded this because the conspicuous pattern has stopped recently
