    Psst if you want newbie oriented advice ask on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca

    One piece of advice as a freebie: Don’t judge yourself too hard if an honest and genuine comment you make now-and-then gets downvoted. Often times the best thing to do is just to move on. You can try to reach a mutual understanding through conversation, but recognize the signs when a back-and-forth isn’t leading anywhere productive and simply back off.

      Sometimes I get downvotes that make no sense, so I just chose to believe it was an accident.
