I’ve never encountered that myself. What communities are you commenting in that you’re getting banned elsewhere for it?
Just another reddit exile.

On a dog.
Hooray, ten minutes of new Groot content incoming. (Seriously though, I’ll take it.)
Honestly it’s a problem with binary ranking systems across the board. Maybe if there were additional axes you could vote on, like “agree/disagree”, “quality/low effort”, “nuanced/trite”, etc. I don’t know how one would go about implementing such a thing, but until someone does, we’re stuck with having a simplistic system that doesn’t adequately reflect the complicated responses real people have to content.
Yup.
I spent over a decade on reddit, and I learned that whenever someone did stuff like that, it was because I had struck a chord. And they usually got bored of their harassment pretty quickly when I ignored them.
A) There is no hive mind. That’s just you perceiving a bunch of people who happen to hold a similar opinion as a monolith, and that’s an illusion. You have no data whatsoever to support the idea that they’re thinking in concert or even have the same reasons for their reactions.
d) Instead of having a kneejerk reaction when you get this kind of response and immediately being defensive, step back and use it as a reflective moment. Maybe you misjudged the room, misinterpreted the potential impact of what you posted, or are simply on a different track from those who downvoted. What can you learn from it? Do you need to change your own approach, or do you need to reevaluate your audience?

My point, if I have one, is that it’s trendy for a vegan to object to eating sterile eggs even from well-treated chickens, but hardly anybody wants to talk about the way too many dogs are treated, just as a manner of course.
Yes, many people treat their dogs well, or think they do, but they’re still routinely confined, leashed, fed cheap crap food, left alone in the yard with no stimulation for most of the day. They’re bred to serve and treated like furniture or at best interactive toys or escorts to make their owners feel good.
Nobody wants to talk about how miserable most of these animals probably are for large parts of their existence, because they wag their tails and jump excitedly in the rare moments when their people actually give them attention. Hardly anyone wants to give a thought to what an existence as a dog muct actually be like. And that’s for the well-treated ones. There are just as many or more who are penned in tiny yards or otherwise mistreated, but don’t you dare criticise dog owners or the industry for turning a blind eye so long as the dog food money keeps flowing.
Funny to be more concerned about the chickens than the animal enslaved for life and bred to feign affection.
But then it’s typical for rationality to go out the window for some people when dogs are concerned.
I would advocate for the return of intermissions! Theater chains would love it, because it would mean more concessions.
I went to Dead Reckoning the other day and afterward it occurred to me why I don’t go to movies very often anymore. With advertisements and travel time both ways, it worked out to a 4 hour commitment. I have kids. I don’t often have that kind of time.
The show is its own thing. It was always going to need to be radically different to work on the screen. That’s what adaptation means.
The usual cycle of edgy jokes. They start off as mocking a group of bad actors, then those same bad actors miss the joke and take on the term for themselves without irony.
How can it be unhandled? It’s right there in the song, just before the spout!
And may they stay that way.

You are upset that popular opinion favors things which are… popular?
It’s an influence game like anything else online now that the Internet is commoditized. Corporations and political influence campaigns can and do pay for control of high-traffic accounts and communities to nudge discussions to benefit whatever they’re selling.
