Reply to comment by Damaso87 in Cloudhiker: Randomly discover the most interesting, weird or funny websites of the internet like in the old StumbleUpon days by theKovah

The obvious answer to your first question is yes. Really, really, really obvious.

My comment was meant to stimulate discussion around what non Redditors user to centralize content...but ok. Merry Christmas.

I’m autistic as shit, which I only bring up to say that I have a hard time parsing tone over text, so I always lean in to giving the benefit of the doubt by default when I’m unsure of tone, but I am an outlier because its something I am cognizant about.

I’d wager most people just go to their cold reads and vote accordingly unfortunately.

And in my experience of having my comments misconstrued on Reddit, as cathartic as it is to be snarky and passive aggressive when that happens, that has only garnered me even more downvotes to express my frustration in that way.

I’m not saying you should do anything, just sharing my relevant knowledge for you to make a more informed decision 👍🏻

May our next meeting be on warmer sands, my friend

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

Thanks for the concern. I have more karma than a few seasonal downvotes can affect - but it is curious to see the tide changing here

Ok, like I sympathize with you because I've been there, making an innocuous comment/question that gets downvoted to oblivion because I'm not always quick on the uptake.

BUT, constantly referring to the fact that it's Christmas in every comment inferring... What that people downvoting you must be scrooges or heathens or something? seems kinda...cringy and desperate.

Yeah dude. I expected better from /r/InternetIsBeautiful. Is that an odd expectation?
