How do I get people to stop downvoting my comments?

Asked by janKanon6 (5points) September 4th, 2022

Whenever I post a comment, I immediately get downvoted. As an example, I say “ni li pona mute!” (This is very good!) and I will have -5 score in less than a day. I don’t think my comment is bad, but it is in a different language. I think people might be downvoting just because it isn’t in English, but I don’t want to comment in English. How do I stop people from downvoting my comments so much?

I think people might be downvoting just because it isn’t in English, but I don’t want to comment in English.

Then why don’t you comment on a video in your language? English videos are for people who speak English. And if you take notice, most comments that have a lot of upvotes are the ones that add substantially to the topic at hand. If you can’t do the basic thing of respecting the language of the video, how can you expect people to like your comment?

Oh, and why do you need upvotes anyway? Even when you have the best comment in the world, there will be people who downvote you because this is the Internet and people are jerk. You can’t stop people from downvoting. And you die from getting downvoted.

Stop caring, as Mimishu1995 sagely suggested.

Or, participate somewhere where they don’t downvote your language.

I don’t know where you are getting these down votes but some sites may not tolerate languages that are not English. Check the rules of the site you are on.

How does one down vote?

There are plenty of other comments in other languages, and they aren’t downvoted.

@janKanon6 you clearly didn’t read my answer because you are still obsessed with it.

To add to this: do you add anything useful to the topic of the video or just the plain boring “I like it”? If all you say is just surface things that doesn’t add anything new, I’m not surprised people don’t care for your comment.

Simple, Stop posting.

Where are you posting? Obviously not here in Fluther.

The key to not being downvoted is to say something worthwhile.
