It’s very obvious I’m targeted with botted downvotes on reddit and piefed, but of course a lot of people are also bot-brained.

I’m curious what people here think of this particular example from the comments on my last post here.

They upvote someone giving me an irrelevant link while pretending it’s relevant, but they downvote the shit out of me explaining why it’s not relevant. For context, the discussion was about a shell script I was trying to develop to store data in the corner of a video using QR codes.

Here’s the github link they posted.

The original thread is removed now, so this link to see more of the context won’t work. I also can’t copy and paste from the original post to provide more context, because unlike reddit, piefed doesn’t let me see my own posts after they’ve been removed.

One of the mods/admins here also harassed me and temporarily banned me, they are now blocked and I’m sure they’ll end up permanently banning me, but in the mean time I’m curious what people think here.

  • Read more carefully, I explained the context.

    It’s weird how after complaining you couldn’t understand such a short post, you gaslight me about how “good” my reasons have to be for noticing obvious things.

    Regarding the tools - currently using zint, ffmpeg, and zxing as I continue trying to do this. Was zbar instead of zxing at time of the original post.

    Idea definitely should be easy for someone with more knowledge/expertise than me, and if anyone got the idea from my removed post, they can get it done faster than me and pretend it had nothing to do with me, thanks to my post being removed. But that’s totally aside from the point of whether people think it seems like bots or just regular human stupidity driving vote patterns like these.

      I have no skin in the game, I only saw this post come up in my stream. I think the reason for the downvotea aren’t bots, but rather your abrasive comments. Quite frankly, you come across as a dick.

      • conflating my replies for abrasive people with me being abrasive

        also:

        conflating my replies for abrasive people with my reply for someone that posted an off-topic link under possibly good intentions

        When I tell you you come across as a dick, I’m not lying like you are when you say it to me
