Whining about being downvoted (BY ONE PERSON IN THIS CASE) is a great way to ensure that I downvote you.

Fair, and I expected that. But it’s frustrating as hell sometimes.

It’s a valid criticism. I rage deleted my 1.5 year old lemmy account for this reason just a few weeks back. Lol

Then I got randomly banned on reddit so I’m back here.

It’s a lot better to just turn off downvotes in the settings. I wish it was like that by default because I think it’s the biggest factor preventing lemmy from growing right now. It doesn’t really matter what you say, people downvote here, it’s basically just leftist 4chan
