I've seen your other comments, and it seems like you're sour over getting downvoted because you weren't able to notice a subtle difference that's not easily obvious.
Personally, I like to be strict with the downvote button. It's just something I picked up (and miss) from old Reddit: there used to be a strict culture on the site, which would lead to a high influx of relevant quality content.
In contrast, I saw a post on !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world yesterday about the theistic breakdown of the American demographic. It was a cool graph, but not a shitpost; yet it had still gained more upvotes than downvotes.
Ultimately, I don't think you should worry about it, as these votes matter even less on Lemmy than they do on Reddit.
No, I am sour because people can't fucking read and insert what they think I'm saying instead of responding to what I wrote.
I didn't feel the need to say it because @wander1236@sh.itjust.works had already written a reply explaining it. All I could have done was paraphrase their explanation and create unnecessary cruft.
You could have kept your pie hole shut when you saw that there was a response that clarified what I wasn't seeing.
I did "keep my piehole shut". I hadn't replied to your comment. Instead, I replied to a different user.
Also, it is pretty apparent that you don't want to have a respectful discussion. Disengage.
