The only arguments you win are the ones you don’t participate in. Internet arguments are a race to the bottom of who can waste the least time.
“Win an argument online”
The edible paste market must be booming.
Look at this someone who thinks you can win an argument on the internet.
I think i win when the other person starts resorting to insults at least
It worked for the Vietnam war and all other U.S. wars since, why can’t we use the same strategy online?
I think i win when the other person starts resorting to insults at least
Bell end.
On the right
Thats right just keep telling yourself that ;)
I suppose a subjective win is still a win, I suppose.
Ooh, looks like someone lost an argument and is now downvoting me for it…
Now you have bragging rights
More often than not, both feel they won
Yeah exactly, if you are talking about winning an online argument you’ve already lost in many ways
I’m reminded of a meme from the early 2000s. keep in mind it was a completely different time.
arguing with someone online is like the special Olympics. you may win but everyone looks retarded.
I was going to downvote this, but then I realised that would be admitting you won.
I’ll have to write an angry comment instead
erm
here goes
You’re a stupid libtankietard who votes for chairman musk and all your opinions are based on Facebook and the UN. You probably believe the moon is round. You can’t even wear your Arch Socks on the right feet. We should defederate.
Phew I think I won now. I forgot what we were arguing about?
I think to demonstrate how to properly wear your arch socks you should take a pic of yours and post it to the unix socks community to be a good example.
I’m sorry, I don’t post explicit photos of myself online.
Understandable
You could blur the foot part of the socks…
you MUST post them btw

The very best is when some fucking loser goes back through your comment history and says, “Oh ya, well…” and brings up something you wrote months ago to try to embarrass you into silence. Fuck those pathetic fucking losers.
This you?
“The very best is when some fucking loser goes back through your comment history and says, “Oh ya, well…” and brings up something you wrote months ago to try to embarrass you into silence. Fuck those pathetic fucking losers.”
Hehehe. Yes.
I love seeing when someone goes to find a months old comment and they pull out just… meh shit.
They spent all their time going through someone’s profile for the tamest stuff.
I had someone say, “Go back and play with your Legos!”
“It’s , ‘Lego bricks.’”
Hehehe
I remember when the queen came round to congratulate me on my upvote score, and it added £1000 to my bank account and everyone went around saying “look there they are, wow”. But it was all ruined the day the Fire nation attacked.
Hey tankies gonna be tankies.
I’m glad we all get the message
Everyone’s in here talking about downvotes… I read this meme and thought “You seriously get into arguments on the internet?” The most I’ll do is leave a comment telling someone they’re full of it and then ignore the rest. Since the comment is more for the silent masses reading than the person I’m replying to. Hey, kinda like this comment. OP probably will spend their days in smug misery but I hope the rest of yall can step away from this petty bullshit some time.
Username checks out
I admire your nonchalance
Divine nonchalance to you!
I love it when i see a bunch of new downvotes in my history after an argument because i count every single one is a tear shed by my opponent
But why even look at that? Who cares?
Well the way i navigate thru conversations I’m having currently brings me to my history since i’m usually having more than one at a time an i need to know who’s replying to what. When one of those is an argument, noticing a bunch of single downvotes while passing thru my history causes air to erupt from my nose because it proves to me that someone I’ve got beef with is definitely malding.
The points don’t matter but the impotent effort they put in does, get me? It feels as close to a win as you’ll ever get on the 'net
Ah got it, thanks. I have never seen something like that for me and do not care, so would never look for it.
Yes, downvote my month old Star Trek joke. Cry harder.
I mentally multiply all votes by ℹ anyway.
I’m sorry dog but if you’re talking crazy saying Little Caesar’s tastes like ass and I look and see that you’re part of r/PissSwisherAnonymous Imma call you out
I’ve honestly never had Little Caesar’s, I assumed it was similar to Dominos in quality…
Domino’s isn’t very hit or miss depending on which one you go to, most are cardboard, some are good.
Little Ceasars is very consistently mediocre no matter where you go, and mediocre pizza is still pizza at the end of the day.
Importantly, Little Caesar’s is also priced like it’s mediocre. You’re also in and out super quick if you just want a basic pizza from their menu with no alterations.
They’re good at what they do, and that’s basic, cheap, fast pizza.
Entirely true! Mediocre pizza for cheap is their M.O., and they execute it very well.
“Pizza! Pizza!” is their slogan because they effectively have their pizzas half the price of their competitors. Yeah, quality suffers, but they work with what they got very well, and frankly, not many chains double the price and then have a pizza twice as good as Little Ceasars
Somehow it’s both cheaper and better, at least in my area, but the bar is low because my local Domino’s is awful.
You’re really gonna let the world make you care about grumpy little arrow clicks? It diminishes us to even think about it. Each person is a being of pure chaos at the infinite center of creation. You are cosmic, made of stardust and in ways beyond words profound.
Besides, there’s no user karma on this site.
It’s not that i care. It’s just weird randomly seeing a lot of my benign comments at 0 upvotes. I can only then wonder how petty one must be to take their time to go through the effort
Really depends on what they use and how far back they went on you
Like I’ve said elsewhere I do this to people posting insane or false bullshit that are clearly spamming it, if you’re taking a shit or whatever and on Voyager you can click someone’s name and swipe slightly to downvote, can get through over a hundred comments in one shit if you don’t pay any attention to the content and just swipe, I bet
I’m on voyager and i have an irrational fear of downvoting something when I swipe to go back out of a comments section
The dance of
Accidental downvote
Ok, half swipe to remove it
No, now it’s an upvote, and I don’t really like the comment that much
Half swipe to remove it
… It’s a downvote again, presses button, leaves via home screen
i never look at the total score, one of the many horrible reddit features, plus i remove my automatic upvote
I love the downvote you got for that. The one lonely little downvote. There’s something poetic about it.
Now it’s gone…
At last, 🧑🔬 funny haters
That’s just inefficiently stupid. Don’t burn bridges, burn entire cities.
If you want to go down the blunt force road, don’t down vote manually, let a script do that … for you and your 10 closest
alt accountsfriends.If you want to be a bit more sophisticated you have a bot run your alt accounts, commenting with short LLM generated content at random posts. And whenever your mark is active, you use one of these accounts to come at them. Maybe have your replies rewritten by your AI, so you don’t give it away by using the same phrases.
You can take it one step further, and analyse your marks interactions. Does a username pop up more than others consistently? Then your mark may have both poor OPSEC and an alt.
Fuck you, turd burger!
(Let’s see this thing at work, or was this all just spitball…)
Honestly, I am so happy that Lemmy doesn’t tie votes to any points like Reddit. It’s a pity that people will still find a way to bring points into arguments. Yeah it sucks when people disagree with you, but can’t always be right all the time either.
lmao, it’s always so obvious when it happens. If they just downvoted my political opinions, it’d be whatever, but when they downvote things like providing sources and explanations for anodyne posts? Just tells me I can mentally subtract 1 downvote from all my recent comments.
This comment annoys me. I’m down voting your previous comment.
Exactly lmao. It’s so petty
