      I assumed your first comment was a complaint that they were posting in too many communities. I was disagreeing and presenting why I think that assessment would be incorrect, and sneakily trying to hint that you might want to consider a different app/frontend if this was bothering you.

        I’m not going to change my front end because somebody thinks that being annoyingly self-promotional is appropriate

          Yeah, you do you. I don’t think posting to three relevant communities is being annoyingly self-promotional, though. Two of them are literally just the same community in two different instances. Why, I find it weird there’s no post to !firefox@lemmy.world

                References the ratio of upvotes vs downvotes. People use it as a “look, even this community thinks you’re wrong,” or similar.

                  Ah, figures, thank you. I still don’t get it, with the counts I’m seeing, but I think we’ve gone deep enough down this comment chain already.

                  I mean unless you’re arguing that people were downvoting op because the article sucks
