lol
furthermore: lmao
It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn't have cumulative karma like reddit did. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go disappear into the woods and become one with nature for a few weeks.
lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!
Upvotes and downvotes are made up internet points that decide sorting in the feeds.
It might not mean much if your opinion is popular or unpopular but when some individual loser wants to make you unseen that feels like a problem.
oh yeah, I'll bet OP feels very unseen right now, with their nearly 500 net upvotes and ~70 comments on this post.
Point being, said loser has failed miserably to do anything other than make themselves look more like a loser.
Since your instance or app doesnt show downvotes, it currently has 627 upvotes and 77 Downvotes. When I first came across it they had 250 to 55.
But if you checked his context link you would see that they literally made brand new instances just to downvote this person for collecting evidence on their shittiness.

I hate to ask, but can someone help me understand what .ml is doing differently? And what's a tankie? Genuinely asking
Here's a recap post
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie
Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.
Thanks! (Tanks?)
Edit: I was wrong below and am corrected in replies to this comment.
~~The moniker Tankie is a reference to the Tiananmen Square Massacre because of their minimalizing or outright denials regarding the incident.~~
It predates that, actually. Goes back to the USSR sending tanks into Eastern Europe to put down rebellion.
Yep, the Prague spring.
No, it was coined for those who supported the soviet invasions of Hungary and czechoslovakia in 1956 and 1968.
ITT severe kamalacaust/lib cope.
Is there any actual evidence of downvotes?
People saying "yes there's proof" but aren't giving any. Weird...
yes
So, you're going to just declare the admins of multiple instances just lying about things then?
