I'm super sick of people obsessing over up and down votes.
really starting to piss me off
Really getting sick of it
I don’t know about your other posts, but I think the tone of your message puts people off and increases the likelihood for downvotes. Also, trying to impose your own arbitrary conventions in this manner might be perceived a bit condescending.
Who the fuck cares about votes - interesting replies (I.e. a conversation) is worth far more.
It's a dangerous game, talking about up votes
Shut up
Harry Potter is rather controversial in left wing circles nowadays due to the author being a major terf, and lemmy is definitely a left wing site. That's likely where the downvotes are coming from.
For what it's worth upvotes and downvotes don't appear consistently across instances. On the instance I'm on your HP post has 8 upvotes.
