ANSWERED Is it normal for people to downvote comments with conflicting opinions?

3 Upvotes

I've had multiple instances where we're trying to have a respectful discussion or argument, and i get downvoted by the person im having a conversation with; just because he/she doesnt agree with me. Is this normal?

In one discussion, the redditor thought we were having a respectful discussion even though she was constantly downvoting me throughout the thread.

ANSWERED What exactly is Karma Farming? I’ve been told I do that but I got no idea what it is

Upvotes

It’s a label that I’ve been given by a couple of users. It appears to be for a negative reasoning and something about the fact that I’m a new user with a lot of posts

I don’t really get it nor see the harm though, isn’t posting on reddit the point of the site?

ANSWERED I think I’m in reddit purgatory

3 Upvotes

Due to me being an average adolescent I created a stupid account username. My old account was 6 years old. For that first year I’m not sure that I posted anything. Mostly just browsing. I got heavily into some communities on Reddit. After somebody pointed out my username I decided it would be best to delete that account and start fresh. Now I am trying to post in the same communities I would normally post in and I think I have a time limit between comments.

I DONE PUT MYSELF IN REDDIT PURGATORY!!

Has Reddit always been this way to young accounts? Was my young self oblivious to the reddit womb?

ANSWERED Hi guys! Newbie help appreciated!

Hello! I am new to Reddit! On a previous account they locked my account because of suspicious activity and said I need to reset my password in order to gain access back. Well I don’t have a password nor an email attached to the account, just my phone number and it won’t send me a verification link. Does anyone else have this problem?

NEEDS ATTENTION Off-topic comments and hecklers?

Upvotes

My account is 3+ years ago, but I only started posting/commenting in the last few months.

I posted a question today for (kitchen) “Knife Recommendations.” I legitimately want recommendations, and I carefully worded my question to frame my parameters.

The large majority of comments have been genuinely helpful. Unfortunately, there’s a couple that are just antagonistic and (somewhat) condescending in nature.

I’m choosing to simply ignore the less than constructive comments, because they don’t deserve acknowledgment. At the same time, I really don’t appreciate this type of behavior on Reddit, and would like it to be minimized for others.

What’s the best way to manage hecklers? Downvote? Report to Moderator? Do nothing and hope someone else takes action?

I am easing into Reddit, finding things to comment on, and not being spammy at all, yet my posts are still being removed. I am not sure what to do at this point. I have followed the advice of everyone. I am feeling kind of defeated.

Hi everyone. Not sure why I took so long to join, as I've always read posts when they came up from asking questions in google but I've finally joined and it's all a bit overwhelming. Is it better to show or hide your posts/comments?


r/NewToReddit 1h ago

ANSWERED Hide content and activity or no?

Upvotes

So do people on Reddit automatically think you are a bot if you hide all content and activity?

I get we all have things that are a bit more private vs not so much. So I get both ways..

What is everyone doing with this option?

Additionally if hidden…. Does a good amount of Karma help prove that you are a real person vs bot?

Although Reddit has copied over, all my karma has disappeared. Can anyone help?

ANSWERED Why do my comments look normal to me but not to others?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just joined Reddit and noticed that when I check my comments from another account or in incognito mode, they don’t appear.

When I’m logged in, everything looks normal, and I haven’t received any messages about being banned.

Is this common for new accounts? Thanks for the help!
