I was going to downvote this, but then I realised that would be admitting you won.

I'll have to write an angry comment instead

erm

here goes

You're a stupid libtankietard who votes for chairman musk and all your opinions are based on Facebook and the UN. You probably believe the moon is round. You can't even wear your Arch Socks on the right feet. We should defederate.

Phew I think I won now. I forgot what we were arguing about?

unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de · 31 pts · 1y (4 replies)

I think to demonstrate how to properly wear your arch socks you should take a pic of yours and post it to the unix socks community to be a good example.

You're really gonna let the world make you care about grumpy little arrow clicks? It diminishes us to even think about it. Each person is a being of pure chaos at the infinite center of creation. You are cosmic, made of stardust and in ways beyond words profound.

Besides, there's no user karma on this site.

GrammarPolice@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 1y (4 replies)

It's not that i care. It's just weird randomly seeing a lot of my benign comments at 0 upvotes. I can only then wonder how petty one must be to take their time to go through the effort

gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Really depends on what they use and how far back they went on you

Like I've said elsewhere I do this to people posting insane or false bullshit that are clearly spamming it, if you're taking a shit or whatever and on Voyager you can click someone's name and swipe slightly to downvote, can get through over a hundred comments in one shit if you don't pay any attention to the content and just swipe, I bet

lmao, it's always so obvious when it happens. If they just downvoted my political opinions, it'd be whatever, but when they downvote things like providing sources and explanations for anodyne posts? Just tells me I can mentally subtract 1 downvote from all my recent comments.

TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee · 13 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Everyone's in here talking about downvotes... I read this meme and thought "You seriously get into arguments on the internet?" The most I'll do is leave a comment telling someone they're full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I'm replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.

I'm sorry dog but if you're talking crazy saying Little Caesar's tastes like ass and I look and see that you're part of r/PissSwisherAnonymous Imma call you out

phorq@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y (4 replies)

I've honestly never had Little Caesar's, I assumed it was similar to Dominos in quality...

Godric@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Domino's isn't very hit or miss depending on which one you go to, most are cardboard, some are good.

Little Ceasars is very consistently mediocre no matter where you go, and mediocre pizza is still pizza at the end of the day.

vithigar@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Importantly, Little Caesar's is also priced like it's mediocre. You're also in and out super quick if you just want a basic pizza from their menu with no alterations.

They're good at what they do, and that's basic, cheap, fast pizza.

Godric@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Entirely true! Mediocre pizza for cheap is their M.O., and they execute it very well.

"Pizza! Pizza!" is their slogan because they effectively have their pizzas half the price of their competitors. Yeah, quality suffers, but they work with what they got very well, and frankly, not many chains double the price and then have a pizza twice as good as Little Ceasars

AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 1y

Somehow it's both cheaper and better, at least in my area, but the bar is low because my local Domino's is awful.

Honestly, I am so happy that Lemmy doesn't tie votes to any points like Reddit. It's a pity that people will still find a way to bring points into arguments. Yeah it sucks when people disagree with you, but can't always be right all the time either.

BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That's just inefficiently stupid. Don't burn bridges, burn entire cities.

If you want to go down the blunt force road, don't down vote manually, let a script do that ... for you and your 10 closest alt accounts friends.

If you want to be a bit more sophisticated you have a bot run your alt accounts, commenting with short LLM generated content at random posts. And whenever your mark is active, you use one of these accounts to come at them. Maybe have your replies rewritten by your AI, so you don't give it away by using the same phrases.

You can take it one step further, and analyse your marks interactions. Does a username pop up more than others consistently? Then your mark may have both poor OPSEC and an alt.
