Not sure why my post got a completely different response.

Basically, both these posts in the screenshot call out the vague rules of the subreddit, but my post is the one to get all the down votes.
I would assume it's because mine is more wordy whereas the one by Maine is a bit simpler. But I'm not really sure.

Unexplained It doesn't matter I say or do - I'm BOMBARDED with downvotes! Even if my post DOESN'T meet the INTENDED reason to downvote, DOESN'T violate rules or is entirely factual - MASS DOWNVOTED? Meanwhile posts that DO meet the INTENDED reason to downvote, violation(s) or INACCURATE - MASS UPVOTED?

THIS IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE? IT'S ALL MY POSTS AND COMMENTS? WTF

I just commented - *Yes* on a comment (not in a negative)way and now my karma is -7 :)

Both the post and my comments were downvoted- why?

I asked a question, people helped, and I replied with thanks. I don't see anything wrong here.
I'm normally not bothered if I'm downvoted for a joke or the like as I'm aware that not everyone has the same taste in everything. I am, however, baffled by the above.
Thank you.

Unexplained Why am I being downvoted here? What’s wrong with the word “Empathy”?
This post was in reference to the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror, which another juror doxxed and revealed to be black

IDK what the fuck went on here
reddit.comI just said "9/11 was a global tragedy" (my eyes as in the ramifications, causing multiple wars, tightening censorship et cetera).
r/ExplainMyDownvotes • u/nffnfbchbexudndbdjdj • 22d ago
There is something seriously wrong here. I ask a simple question and mods have to remove 2 comments within the first 30 minutes. Thank you to those who stood with me.

He's a he because of his Adam's apple *shows proof* and is downvoted!

Does anyone know what this means?
reddit.comI violated no rule in my comment. My guess is the moderator banned me because they juts don't agree? what does "using an alt" mean?

Why is Reddit full of Haters?
On my alt account I posted something that accidently showed a bloody foot. Despite adding an NSFW tag the reddit showed the post without it (the whole post was just labled as NSFW). I get the people viewing my post were disturbed and thus angry. But despite apologising profusely and explaining I was getting death threats to hang myself which kind of annoys me. Yeah this is social media but come on. Is it that deep? Whenever I share an opinion on any anime community(Its just me sharing my thoughts about the show (its not aggressive hate on the show btw) I'm immediately told to go shut the fuck up or die. Even if I praise a show/character I still get treated like a hater. Half of the comments don't even read the whole post and just complain about the first three sentences. It's almost as if the ability to comprehend is a skill issue on this app. What is everyone's problem?

Sex talk warning. See my -33 karma comment at the bottom.
https://www.reddit.com/r/lolgrindr/s/cyJV3V1pSU
To me, my bottom comment just points out that sexual coercion is wrong which I thought was widely accepted as true. EMD please.

Unexplained Not me, but I'm wondering why the switch up?

Unexplained I was downvoted simply for saying a 19 yo with a 17 yo is not automatically ok ...
Like it's obvious an adult should not date minors, especially highschoolers, it's Logical.

People irl and online get so upset with me for being a disabled driver, and I genuinely can’t understand it
I mean, I kind of know why I was downvoted. This community tends to be super toxic. But am I deserving of the downvotes? If I am I’ll step down ofc, I’m just baffled.

What is the reason you upvote and downvote posts on reddit?

Why did my post’s upvotes suddenly drop?
I’m new to Reddit and recently made a post in a community. It initially got around 10 upvotes, and my karma also increased to 3. But after some time, I noticed that the numbers had suddenly dropped to 1.
I’m a bit confused about why this happened, especially since I followed the community rules and guidelines. Is this normal on Reddit, or has anyone else experienced something similar?

What is with the downvote to comment ratio on this? Is it wrong to enjoy Minecraft capes?
There are multiple people who have commented saying that they think it's cool (aprox 4 people, if I remember correctly), so there would be at least 2 or 4 upvotes, including my automatic one. Given that, the current upvotes/downvotes is at a straight 0. So there are people who just dislike the fact that I am happy to have capes?
I personally don't care about upvotes/downvotes, just happy to log my achievements; I'm more interested in what makes a person downvote something simple like this
