Holy shit dude it's only been a few minutes calm the fuck down

If 4 people are going to downvote me within that time and not respond, I'm going to say something about it. I notice you took the time to respond to me without answering the question. Do you have an answer?

I was gonna write out a response (which is why I was back here anyways) but your demeanor is just "I wanna be angry" and there really is no amount of logic you apply to people like you.

It's just edgy teenagers who think they know everything about how the world works, don't sweat it.

I guess. It just annoys me when people downvote me a whole bunch when I ask a question but don't explain their downvotes. I don't care if I say something and everyone on Lemmy thinks it's worth downvoting and I get 2500 downvotes or whatever, but I just think people should have the basic courtesy to explain why.

I know they won't, but it still annoys me.

EDIT: See, in this response (I'm editing just because I saw it already had a few downvotes) I don't care if I get dozens of downvotes to this comment and no one responds. It's when I ask a question. I don't downvote people for asking questions unless I also respond. If I don't like their question, I'll explain why. I think that's just courteous. But maybe I'm in a minority. Courtesy is mostly dead on the internet anyway.

I feel like people downvote like that when they don't like how the comment makes them feel, but can't be bothered to think about why that's the case.

And I have no interest in what those people think feel.

Alternatively, it can make me do a double take, and reconsider my own reasoning, just to make sure I haven't made an error, in fact or in judgment. I don't think you need to do that here; what the adult said was most definitely a potential threat.

Typing is hard, voting is easy. Reddit was the same way. Just accept it and move on, frequently things shift the other way and you get comments if you're just patient.
