Title. “lmao internet points” and all, but what is the point of participating in a community that sees assumptions and other commonly non-harmful commentaries/posts as “bad” this easily? Do folks in here are really that needy of self-validation, even if it means seeking such from something completely insignificant like internet points? I mean, if I wanted to have a “stepping on eggs” experience with someone (i.e “one false step, and everything breaks apart”), I’d look for a random chick to meet in a bar.
That, or “we reddit now”.
I typically never downvote anyone. I’ll up upvote a post if it’s saying what I was already going to say.
I don’t even check vote counts, not my own nor others. I’m just here to share opinions, others and mine.
I couldn’t give a dime as to whether people up or downvote me.
I don’t think it’s a healthy system. And I agree, as Linux users we should support community and different opinions, not squash them. The disagreements can often lead to a better solution for all.
