There's me writing a post last week, talking about what it's like to attempt some humor.
Here's you:
https://peakd.com/negativity/@acidyo/state-of-mind
I'm trying to do something fun, and you come here and threaten me with this negativity of yours? With a smile on your face? After writing a post about how you don't like that kind of stuff?
Do you know I've written entire posts made up of gibberish in the past and people enjoyed them?
If humor, art, and me doing what I want to do, aren't welcome here, tell me right now. I'll pack up and fucking leave.
What makes you think I'd do the same thing twice anyway? What fucking sense would that make? Do you think I want to be sitting here walking on eggshells "worried" about how I should be telling jokes and having fun?
WTF is this place turning into?
can't tell if you're being serious
he asked if posts like these get downvoted, I said that if someone were to only post like this all the time then maybe, obviously that wouldn't refer to trusted authors doing something different and not having bad intentions behind it.
My emoji's mean I'm being jokeful about my answer, not threatening or whatever is going on in your brain right now, chill out
I would love to be able to sit here, fuck around, and entertain some people. That's what this is. That's what I want to do. That's what I've usually done. It's been tough trying to get back into it. This was my first attempt in almost a year.
Some downvotes are due? If I do that? That's how I'm processing it.
CHILL OUT?!?!?!?!?!! lol
Okay, maybe I read the goddamn emojis wrong because I never know wtf cave painting language is trying to tell me. I tried to learn but goddamn it slow when it comes to emojis.
Don't get between me and my creative ways. That's the only thing in the world that pisses me off. I instantly see red. And I thought that was big dickhead grin. Plus we've been cool for years so it felt like I was being stabbed.
I'm fine.
I honestly thought u were still joking and that I translated it wrong.
I was answering to a general question if content "like this" would get downvoted, "this" referring to what at first glance may seem like spam/nothingburger. So I replied that if for some reason you or generally others decided that this is all you post from now on and it wouldn't even have to be this exactly but say variations of this with little added effort or changes, if say it got less and less engagement over time, post rewards weren't declined, in general if it came off like the intent was to farm rewards rather than create something unique and the autovotes would continue rolling in, then yeah I think we should at that point protect the rewardpool with downvotes.
It doesn't matter much who or why at that point, I could sell my account tomorrow and someone could start spamming AI generated content to farm autovotes. If the community didn't eventually start asking questions and downvoting I'd say we'd be doing a bad job at protecting inflation.
Anyway, feeling a bit icky that you weren't joking and assumed I'd just threaten downvotes or whatever after all this time. meh
I've had this idea on my list of shit to post, for years. And you don't need to explain to me why people downvote.
Had this been years ago, there would be far more genuine responses like you see along with people having fun like you see and me responding with fun and upvotes like you see, and far fewer straw boss responses from people concerned I might break the platform.
Now you're calling a simple joke, spam, in so many words. This "nothing burger" is sitting in the top slot most viewed posts on peakd today for some f'd up reason.
You're explaining why you would downvote this in great detail. Yet you're disappointed in me for thinking you would after saying you would if "this" continues.
No guilt trips please. I didn't order that.
This is a joke. It's meant for entertainment purposes only. If you don't like my "spam nothingburgers", please go to another restaurant and order something else.
Maybe next time the menu will be more to your liking.
I replied to your post with a fun reply, you responded to it.
I left a reply to a comment asking if posts like these get downvoted here, I vaguely responded to it then tried to make it clear what I meant.
You're the one who went apeshit for no fucking reason.
DUDE. Let it go.
It's almost like you're farming pointless drama with what transpired here. Thanks for wasting my time.
It's weird that you're concerned about walking on eggshells if I were to threaten with downvotes yet you react this way over me trying to explain to someone in your comments what kind of stuff we'd downvote.
That was your "explanation."
I'd say my reaction is normal but if you want to make me out to be weird, that's cool too.
How was my first short comment the explanation? I even followed it up to your questionmark with a bit more context which I hoped was enough to understand where I was coming from.
Dunno what's going on with you but if you think that's an okay way to react I guess this is where we part ways.
