They’re receptive to other viewpoints, so I’ve had pretty successful conversations with them, they just start off with terrible takes. Plus they posted a couple of good memes and spurred some good conversation in the comments sections of those memes because of their perspectives.

When I noticed someone had a few downvotes, I took it as a red flag, but I don’t like to block people who aren’t trolls or awful people.

I had that enabled, but then I felt bad because I had one user at like -50. They don’t seem to be a troll, they just have consistently terrible takes (imo) and try to make jokes at the wrong time. I’m not a big down voter, and I started to wonder if I was seeing the negative number and becoming prejudiced against them, so I got rid of it.

I don’t know what the record is now, but I at least don’t have a reminder of previous bad takes next to their name, meaning I stay unbiased as long as I ignore usernames, which I do.

Fuck, now I feel like the dumbass. I thought it was loiterers, but looters now seems obvious.
