Look at this someone who thinks you can win an argument on the internet.
I think i win when the other person starts resorting to insults at least
Thats right just keep telling yourself that ;)
I suppose a subjective win is still a win, I suppose.
Ooh, looks like someone lost an argument and is now downvoting me for it…
Now you have bragging rights
More often than not, both feel they won
I love it when i see a bunch of new downvotes in my history after an argument because i count every single one is a tear shed by my opponent
But why even look at that? Who cares?
Well the way i navigate thru conversations I’m having currently brings me to my history since i’m usually having more than one at a time an i need to know who’s replying to what. When one of those is an argument, noticing a bunch of single downvotes while passing thru my history causes air to erupt from my nose because it proves to me that someone I’ve got beef with is definitely malding.
The points don’t matter but the impotent effort they put in does, get me? It feels as close to a win as you’ll ever get on the 'net
Ah got it, thanks. I have never seen something like that for me and do not care, so would never look for it.
I mentally multiply all votes by ℹ anyway.
I’m reminded of a meme from the early 2000s. keep in mind it was a completely different time.
arguing with someone online is like the special Olympics. you may win but everyone looks retarded.
“Win an argument online”
The edible paste market must be booming.
The very best is when some fucking loser goes back through your comment history and says, “Oh ya, well…” and brings up something you wrote months ago to try to embarrass you into silence. Fuck those pathetic fucking losers.
This you?

Hehehe. Yes.
You’re really gonna let the world make you care about grumpy little arrow clicks? It diminishes us to even think about it. Each person is a being of pure chaos at the infinite center of creation. You are cosmic, made of stardust and in ways beyond words profound.
Besides, there’s no user karma on this site.
It’s not that i care. It’s just weird randomly seeing a lot of my benign comments at 0 upvotes. I can only then wonder how petty one must be to take their time to go through the effort
i never look at the total score, one of the many horrible reddit features, plus i remove my automatic upvote
I love the downvote you got for that. The one lonely little downvote. There’s something poetic about it.
At last, 🧑🔬 funny haters
Now it’s gone…
lmao, it’s always so obvious when it happens. If they just downvoted my political opinions, it’d be whatever, but when they downvote things like providing sources and explanations for anodyne posts? Just tells me I can mentally subtract 1 downvote from all my recent comments.
Exactly lmao. It’s so petty
I’m sorry dog but if you’re talking crazy saying Little Caesar’s tastes like ass and I look and see that you’re part of r/PissSwisherAnonymous Imma call you out
I’ve honestly never had Little Caesar’s, I assumed it was similar to Dominos in quality…
Domino’s isn’t very hit or miss depending on which one you go to, most are cardboard, some are good.
Little Ceasars is very consistently mediocre no matter where you go, and mediocre pizza is still pizza at the end of the day.
Somehow it’s both cheaper and better, at least in my area, but the bar is low because my local Domino’s is awful.
Honestly that just means you won twice
Nuuuuu not my updoots ;(
That’s just inefficiently stupid. Don’t burn bridges, burn entire cities.
If you want to go down the blunt force road, don’t down vote manually, let a script do that … for you and your 10 closest
alt accountsfriends.If you want to be a bit more sophisticated you have a bot run your alt accounts, commenting with short LLM generated content at random posts. And whenever your mark is active, you use one of these accounts to come at them. Maybe have your replies rewritten by your AI, so you don’t give it away by using the same phrases.
You can take it one step further, and analyse your marks interactions. Does a username pop up more than others consistently? Then your mark may have both poor OPSEC and an alt.
I love it when failed stand up commedians try to troll you, fail, and cry to moderators when you guess who they are irl.
Then they get their podcast cohost to troll you and theu fail even worse.
cohost??? the (unfortunately dead) website???
Honestly, I am so happy that Lemmy doesn’t tie votes to any points like Reddit. It’s a pity that people will still find a way to bring points into arguments. Yeah it sucks when people disagree with you, but can’t always be right all the time either.
Better than them going through it trying to figure out where you live and what your identity is.
You used to be able to prove it too via kbin. It was very interesting having a supposedly cordial convo just to see that same person crawl your comment history downvoting everything.
