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.
“Win an argument online”
The edible paste market must be booming.
I had no idea people were doing that lol.
I remember people on reddit cancelling themselves with a comment and when I checked their post history they all had many downvotes.
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.
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.
I love seeing when someone goes to find a months old comment and they pull out just… meh shit.
They spent all their time going through someone’s profile for the tamest stuff.
I had someone say, “Go go and play with your Legos!”
“It’s , ‘Lego bricks.’”
Hehehe
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.
Importantly, Little Caesar’s is also priced like it’s mediocre. You’re also in and out super quick if you just want a basic pizza from their menu with no alterations.
They’re good at what they do, and that’s basic, cheap, fast pizza.
Entirely true! Mediocre pizza for cheap is their M.O., and they execute it very well.
“Pizza! Pizza!” is their slogan because they effectively have their pizzas half the price of their competitors. Yeah, quality suffers, but they work with what they got very well, and frankly, not many chains double the price and then have a pizza twice as good as Little Ceasars
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, 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.
Everyone’s in here talking about downvotes… I read this meme and thought “You seriously get into arguments on the internet?” The most I’ll do is leave a comment telling someone they’re full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I’m replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.
Username checks out
I admire your nonchalance
Divine nonchalance to you!
Look at this someone who thinks you can win an argument on the internet.
Yeah exactly, if you are talking about winning an online argument you’ve already lost in many ways
I think i win when the other person starts resorting to insults at least
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
Thats right just keep telling yourself that ;)
More often than not, both feel they won
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.
Imma need more of this story please!
cohost??? the (unfortunately dead) website???
Better than them going through it trying to figure out where you live and what your identity is.
How do you even notice such a thing?
They’re actually the one doing it.
Easy. All my downvotes are just salty people who lost at some point in the past. They just make it look realistic in an attempt to fool you.
I was going to downvote this, but then I realised that would be admitting you won.
I’ll have to write an angry comment instead
erm
here goes
You’re a stupid libtankietard who votes for chairman musk and all your opinions are based on Facebook and the UN. You probably believe the moon is round. You can’t even wear your Arch Socks on the right feet. We should defederate.
Phew I think I won now. I forgot what we were arguing about?
I think to demonstrate how to properly wear your arch socks you should take a pic of yours and post it to the unix socks community to be a good example.
I’m sorry, I don’t post explicit photos of myself online.
You could blur the foot part of the socks…
you MUST post them btw
from the rfc
Understandable
Hey tankies gonna be tankies.
I’m glad we all get the message
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.
Yes, downvote my month old Star Trek joke. Cry harder.
I mentally multiply all votes by ℹ anyway.
