Do you think these downvotes are bots, or just Nazis? (media.piefed.social)

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.

It's on topic (literally about the place I'm posting it in, and about programming) but you want it removed. What would happen if both of you said that instead of lying? Would it be unbearable for you to handle your feelings that way instead?

    Have you considered that, perhaps, your prickly attitude and the tone of your posts is the source of the downvotes, rather than the content?

    Possibilities:

    A. The screenshot didn't load for you and you're getting way ahead of yourself making shit up presenting it as reality without loading the actual image

    B. (obvious real one) The screenshot did load for you but you're trying to gaslight me by pretending you thought it was really "prickly" or had some extreme "tone" - conflating my replies for hostile disingenuous time wasting dumbasses like you with my reply for someone who posted an irrelevant link under possibly good intentions

    We can all click on your name and see your other comments, I suspect that’s what they’re referring to. There is a really strong correlation between the number of downvotes you received for past comments and whether or not they contain language like “fuck off retard” or similar.

    I think they hit the nail on the head, and there is no point in botting downvotes on this platform in the first place, since there is no karma.

    My client tells me I’ve downvoted you before as well, though I don’t remember where.

    Mate, I could not care less about your screenshot. I'm referring to your posts in this thread, which extends to this very reply, where you've got a generally off-putting, condescending tone and frankly, I'm glad you're getting downvoted for them, because that sort of behavior is just not something I'd like to see rewarded on the fediverse.

    Do you get paid for this or are you just getting practice by trying to gaslight me?

    Didn't read past first few words either way

    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
    • Whether downvotes are needed is a programming topic to you, but me asking about responses to my coding project isn't?
    • I'm not wrong
    • Whether I'm wrong is a programming topic to you, but me asking about responses to my coding project isn't?
    • I didn't ask if I was having a moderation issue
    • Whether I'm aware of the moderation issue I told you about is a programming topic to you, but me asking about responses to my coding project isn't?
    • 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
    • Whether you care about me is a programming topic to you, but me asking about responses to my coding project isn't?
    • I didn't ask if you know me or think you did, you know that and you're wasting time pretending otherwise
    • Whether you know me is a programming topic to you, but me asking about responses to my coding project isn't?
    • I have no reason to read what you said again
