context also heavily welcome.
It was a post about how Google had been asked to take down links to websites selling black market hormonal transition drugs and I suggested that no one should be buy them from shady sources like that in the first place as those compounds are important enough to not just buy whatever you can find as a personal attempt to fix body dysphoria.
People just wanted to be upset.Though I have also been recently banned from upliftingnews for not being uplifted enough about basic stuff and had a mod tell me I don’t belong in their communities so I’m surprised anyone agrees with me ever apparently.
When I made a troll post about 09.11 and wine 9.11 release.
Something like: “wine 9.11 has landed” + some wtc attack picture with wine logo on it.
edit: And there was a reply to a comment about how the chinese communist army is the most peaceful and just army in the world. I just shared a picture of the Tiananmen Square ‘Tank Man.’ I got banned on lemmy.ml and downvoted to oblivion.
I was on a Ford reddit forum. OP was pissed that their timing belt (chain?) broke, and was convinced that the repair shop she had previously went to had sabotaged her motor. I commented that these things do in fact break, and that the shop might not have been the culprit. Holy Downvotes Batman.
I was third in a chain of "Nice"s. I think about my crimes every day.
When I said that weed isn’t harmless. I didn’t say it should be criminal. I just don’t like people pretending it has no downsides.

A question about if the voting age should be lowered.
I said that it should be higher instead because teens are stupid. I was back then, and I was considered one of the smart kids in school.
I agree, here in Germany they made some kind of voting available for 16 yr old, everyone was like “yeah this is good” I disagreed and got bashed on. (PS: I’m also a teen, and can’t vote yet, I agree it should be higher.)
With your help, this one
I once made fun of someone on hexbear for denying genocide. A few days later, all of my recent comments had exactly the same number of downvotes, somewhere in the ballpark of 20, all across different communities. Whichever one of those comments received the least upvotes is my personal winner.
As an added bonus, this was after hexbear disabled downvotes, so they had to either pay for bots or run bots on an instance other than hexbear to pull that off.

I made a comment about proton VPN being a L data miner and now we see the CEO bootlicking trump. Funny how that turned out
I suggested that good music comes from republican administrations without clarifying that I was thinking about bands like Rage Against The Machine, System Of A Down, Dead Kennedys, etc.
Which is funny because Rage broke up when W Bush got elected.
That’s an interesting way of thinking about that. Huh. Sone of my favorite bands too. So if we lived under a peaceful just administration then what? Constant peaceful melodies. Do we need a machine to rage against for great music.?? You may be onto something
I guess, if you declare that as good music. which is really subjective. but meh.
I know you’re all going to have to get this out of your system, so go ahead. Mock the leftists who stubbornly refused to vote for Kamala. Assign the blame for fascism taking over on those who could not see past their principles to the bigger picture (at least, as you see it). Eventually, you’re going to have to move on and acknowledge that the blame cannot fall solely on them.
I voted for Kamala Harris. I, like most of you, felt strongly that doing so was necessary to prevent a far worse outcome. In the short term. The truth is, those that you mock for failing to see what was so plain to you were looking past it to an even larger picture, and that is why they could not see the strategic necessity of their vote. Why they chose not to see it, just as many of you choose not to see something that is very plain to them, the inevitability of this outcome.
Kamala Harris began her campaign to thunderous applause from those who were hopeful that the Democratic Party was finally embracing progressive ideals, only to then abandon and insult those very same hopefuls while moving further to the right than even Biden dared go. Kamala Harris then also proceeded to approach the economically anxious right with the same limp-wristed and tired economic messaging that has consistently failed to address the concerns of the working class. She campaigned as a moderate old Republican, the very same that the Republican electorate abandoned in favor of Trump.
A large number of progressives and radical leftists saw this and surrendered. They sacrificed their hope for change and reform to preserve their principles, and embraced accelerationism where previously they resisted it. I felt what they felt but held onto hope not because I truly believed Kamala Harris would turn around, but because I feared that we were not ready. I voted for Kamala Harris because I wanted to buy just a little more time, but fascism is here now, and we’ve run out of time.
Accept responsibility, stop assigning blame, we can’t afford to. Accept responsibility not because you are at fault, but because no one else will.
Roughly equal number of upvotes and downvotes on this one, commented on a thread in c/meanwhileongrad bashing some random tankies after the election for abstaining or voting 3rd party. I stand by it.
Probably one a few weeks ago where I said civilised people shouldn’t condone murder even if the victim is a bad person.
It’s like the Trolley Problem, though. If the death of one person might cause fewer other people to die, could it be justified?
I still don’t feel bad about such people getting adjusted if it means a shift in perspective.
Bunch of ones where I’m defending Hexbear downvoted 0 to -5, but then I found this one:
Context is something about the election. The post is deleted, so idk what the photo was of, but I was responding to something about how not voting or voting for a 3rd party makes you a Trump supporter.
i once criticized Salvador Dali’s artwork. turns out people really love that guy and i’m a moron
“Art is subjective” - Art Fan.
“… No, I didn’t mean like that” - Also Art Fan
I honestly don’t remember any specifically. Probably because I’m not political, but I have never “deleted” a down voted comment. It’s phony social media who cares about “votes”
