    I’m not here to win a popularity contest or count upvotes

    What are you here to do then?

    They’re public, but yeah if you wanna make posts about it, you can

    … and?

    I’ll take a screenshot of our conversation right now

    Kind of a weird threat.

      What are you here to do then?

      To post articles I find interesting. Like everyone else does.

      Kind of a weird threat.

      Wasn’t a threat at all. I was saying as a point of pride. What’s weird is that you would see that as a threat. Why? Because you are afraid that the corrupt capitalist duopoly that you worship is being questioned? So you wanna keep that confusion going, don’t ya?

        I have never seen another user “post articles [they] find interesting”, get a constant stream of hate all day, and just pretend that isn’t happening. It’s not normal behavior. Humans want to be accepted. Most people are on Lemmy because they find something in common with others here, not because they want to draw hatred.

        Yeah buddy, you’re so right. The fact that I think it’s weird you’re telling me you’re going to screenshot my messages means something something duopoly. You’re not really the best at coherent points, are you?

          When have I ever pretended that it isn’t happening? I know it’s happening. I just choose to not let it affect me. At all.

          Humans want to be accepted.

          I’m accepted by plenty. Lemmy haters and downvoters have zero impact on my real life.

          Yeah buddy, you’re so right.

          Thank you! Keep trying to sow doubt and confusion, friend. It’s not working. We can see what you’re doing.

          Do you feel good that you downvoted an article about overworked nurses demanding better working conditions?

            That’s the bizarre part.

            Lemmy haters and downvoters have zero impact on my real life.

            But spending hours a day doing what you do here absolutely does. A normal person would only ever spend the time if they didn’t get constant hate in exchange.

            So you’ve tried to slither out of it but it didn’t work. You explained nothing whatsoever about your motives. Which require explanation unless your goal is for people to assume they are bad.

              No, it’s bizarre that you seem to care about upvotes and downvotes so much that you think it’s strange that others do not. You need to get out more, friend.

              But spending hours a day doing what you do here absolutely does.

              Hours?! How long do you think it takes to post an article? Have you ever posted one? dude, it’s cut and paste a title. Then the link. Takes 5 seconds. And replying to trolls takes even less time.

              I mean, maybe YOU spend hours doing that kind of stuff, but not me.

              You explained nothing whatsoever about your motives. Which require explanation unless your goal is for people to assume they are bad.

              I don’t owe you any explanation at all. I say what I feel like saying, when I feel like saying it. I am under no obligation to do anything for you. The duopoly really has you under their thumb I guess. Not me. I know what freedom is.

              Oh and by the way, I posted another couple of articles, so update the stats you keep about me. lmao

                Lol way to dodge again. You talk about downvotes as if the hundreds of negative comments are meaningless. Neither are, for a mentally healthy person, hate is hate.

                You have spent a fuck load of time, stop pretending. Dozens of comments an hour, many posts a day. No one is fooled.

                I just plainly said you only owe an explanation if you want your motivation to make sense. Apparently your wish is for everyone to assume you’re up to something sinister.

                update the stats you keep about me

                This is going to shock you, but copying and pasting text from a web page is not the same thing as keeping a diary about disingenuous terminally online trolls who suddenly post even more after the presidential debate.

                  They are to me. But seems like you put lots of weight into online opinions. Ok, have fun with that. lol

                  You have spent a fuck load of time, stop pretending. Dozens of comments an hour, many posts a day. No one is fooled.

                  Apparently you are fooled. Because I don’t spend that much time. How much do you think it takes to post an article? I laid it out for you. Is it that hard to understand for you? You know what? Maybe it would take you hours and hours to do it, I guess.

                  just plainly said you only owe an explanation of you want your motivation to make sense.

                  I don’t owe you an explanation for anything. I can do what I want and post what I want.

                  is not the same thing as keeping a diary about disingenuous terminally online trolls who suddenly post even more after the presidential debate.

                  What?! You keep a fucking diary about me?! Ewwwww. Dude! That’s gross. Seek help. Yuck.

                    Based on very conservative estimates, you’ve spent almost a full 8 hour work day in a month. Posting more than 3 times every waking hour. Yeah, no biggie. Very normal to do that and be hated for it by nearly everyone.

                My totally creepy diary on you is located here: https://lemmy.ml/u/UniversalMonk@lemmy.world

                198 Posts

                1.24K Comments

                Joined 1 month

                If it took only 10 seconds to post each time, and 20 seconds to make a comment, that means you have spent:

                (198 * 10) + (1240 * 20) = 26780 seconds
                

                Or, 7.44 hours, in one month. That’s almost 5% the amount of time people spend working full time. Almost a full work day. And these are extremely generous estimates that assume you are very fast. I have no doubt you have spent minutes responding to some of the comments calling you out.

                To calculate the number of times you submitted content per waking hour:

                (198 + 1240) / (16 * 30) = 3
                

                Or once every 20 minutes on average, assuming you sleep. But again, yeah it fully makes sense that you would work nearly an entire work day per month, getting nothing but bile in return, because you “find articles interesting”. Almost every single one promoting third party candidates. Yep you’ve convinced me. Totally and completely not sus, at all. Not even a little bit.

                  Hmmm, so how do you think I would make a living then? I mean, since you know so much and all.

                  And dude, you admitted to keeping a diary about me. Do you realize how weird you are being?! Ewwww…
