What sort of post or comment gets you downvoted the most? Especially if you don’t think it’s bad behavior in the first place, or don’t care. Does not have to be on Lemmy, but we are here… One of the good things about Lemmy IMO is that it’s small enough to see the posts that are unpopular. If you do “Top Day” on most channels, you cash reach the bottom, see what people here don’t like.
As far as comments, attempting to rebut the person who is telling me my post sucks, is what gets me into negative numbers most often. The OP is going to voite it down, of course, and nobody else cares, usually.

    Posting for the sake of intelligent discussion; Philosophy.

    Nobody understands the term “Devils Advocate” on lemmy. It’s just “TROLL”. I can’t possibly discuss a viewpoint online, that I don’t personally believe without instantly being labeled a troll.

    I don’t brain like most people brain. I like to explore and discover the aspect of things which made us land on those decisions or opinions. Turns out, most people don’t like that.

      It’s fine to argue devil’s advocate, but you should clearly mark it as such so people don’t think it’s your true opinion - tone is hard enough as it is to get through text, never mind outright devil’s advocacy.
