It's that momentum. Once you start going negative, you get pile driven even lower

Only if you are really stupid or controversial. In a popular thread you can turn the votes around with subsequent posts or a clarifying edit.

I once asked a question, everyone thought I made a bad joke, down voted, I edited it to include that it was genuine curiosity, got down voted even harder and called stupid, my noddle still doesn't compute the situation.

Sometimes you start with the person you replied to down voting you because they think you disagreed with them, then others read your comment and up vote it

A negative downvote is an upvote :v

Reminds me of a poster that said "!False is funny, because it is true"

We are always one negative vote away from oblivion

That one poster brave enough to speak and defend you and single handedly turns the tide.

Or even better, when they call out the loonies too and go down with you like the violin Titanic scene

Movie is Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)

Wouldn't one downvote plus one upvote be 1 again

Sure.

The meme's about being at -1 though.

I think you automatically upvote your own posts/replies

[–] Crack0n7uesday@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I completely forgot Dave Chappelle is in that movie until recently.

A Jew, in England!?

Who cares about down votes? I'd care if I didn't express my view properly, but sometimes people just disagree

[–] nooneshere@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Hide votes unless you're keen on worrying about stupid manipulative internet points

minecraft both of them
