        Does the old copypasta work here?

        I just downvoted your comment.

        FAQ

        What does this mean?

        The amount of points on your comment has decreased by one.

        Why did you do this?

        There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral votes.

        These include, but are not limited to:

        • ⁠Rudeness towards other Lemmerinos,

        • A joke I personally disagreed with,

        • ⁠Spreading incorrect information,

        • Positively mention a website I dislike,

        • ⁠Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s.

        Am I banned from the The Instance?

        No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy.

        I don’t believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it?

        Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.

        How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

        Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on this Lemmy instance. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Lemmy is privilege, not a right.
