What is the most downvoted post you've seen on Lemmy?
Pretty much the title. Here is my best find so far. Really funny thread.
But that’s not a heavily downvoted post, but a comment.
probally this post
Possibly this guy on this very community saying he liked to publicly masturbate and asking women how they'd react to seeing him
Animal!
I see a lot of posts that are spam that get a shipload of down votes. Usually advertising some pills or something
Fortunately, they are removed pretty quickly
Edit: Hey look one showed up
I don’t really pay attention to down nor upvotes. Don’t even really understand what it does, I currently see it as: x amount of people agree or disagree with OP.
The last time someone asked your very question and I answered, it was in the other AskLemmy, and answering this answer got me banned for three days from there for "trolling".
If you sincerely believe what you posted in there, then you're obviously not looking for the actual truth. You're just being contrarian for the sake of it.
You say that like that's never been brought up before. The Mythbusters episode about it even ended on that note. They said "manmade stuff is on the moon, so men must've been up there" but didn't discuss the part where there's more than one way manmade stuff could end up on the moon (which itself seemed unusually hasty for them).
Well, that is hardly a lot of down votes. You're going to try harder with your brand of conspiracy
I wasn't "trying" to induce that effect, it's a genuine conclusion I have. And I did get temporarily banned from the other AskLemmy for it, so yeah, there's that. If there's any others that have more downvotes, they would be new to me.
The moon landing happened. It's obvious. Even without the evidence that it happened (which we have in abundance), there's the fact that the soviet union didn't even try to claim it was fake (when they had every incentive to do so).
If you claim to not believe in the moon landing, you're either a troll or an idiot. You were banned for trolling because they were being kind in their interpretation of you.
a troll or an idiot
Or someone who just doesn't consider a matter conclusive if a voice of authority weighs in. It's not like the Bielefeld conspiracy where you can just walk to Bielefeld and touch around, the moon landing belief comes from exclusively second-hand source material during a dubious era of people bluffing and moving goalposts to prove their worth (which is dumb, America has earned a worthy place even without its achievements). It's no different from the arguments I witness everyday where people out each other with second-hand "evidence" and calling it first-hand even though it's easy to fake. To cite the Soviet Union's incentive is purely circumstantial, like saying someone isn't lying about a murder on the basis they seem like they have no reason to, which is to say it ignores the potential existence of unforeseen possibilities.
That's quite a rap sheet - good work!
What do you mean?
Not a post, but a comment. And I hope it's this one because it's basically copying another comment.
