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.

    No need to downvote me, you’re wrong. You’re having a moderation issue on a programming community. That’s the most off-topic you can be.

    you want it removed

    I don’t care about you, I don’t even know you. Read again what I said: could be off-topic, emojis, etc.

      • Look at the fucking number of bullet points of rebuttals for me to make here already, what you’re doing is called a “gish gallop” and anyone reading this should look that up
      • There’s never need to downvote anyone, downvotes aren’t driven by need, you know that and you’re wasting time pretending otherwise
      • I’m not wrong
      • I didn’t ask if I was having a moderation issue
      • I don’t care if some off topic thing I didn’t ask about is off topic, it doesn’t make my post off topic at all unless something is wrong with your client that makes it fail to render the rest of my post (in which case even the part you’re seeing is still half on-topic since it’s about the place I’m posting it in)
      • I didn’t ask if you care about me or think you did, you know that and you’re wasting time pretending otherwise
      • I didn’t ask if you know me or think you did, you know that and you’re wasting time pretending otherwise
      • I have no reason to read what you said again
