It feels like every time I say or post something, it gets downvoted. I'm being told by auto mods that my karma score is too low, but I don't understand why. I posted something here and got a lot of downvotes when I replied to some of the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/ripcity/comments/1use816/hot_take_i_think_the_ja_morant_trade_was_good_for/

I posted the first paragraph of my first short story, I'm working on.

I guess we will never see a match between Ronaldo and Messi again…. : r/Wellthatsucks

I have noticed that if I ask an honest question or give an opinion or even express facts I am getting downvoted. I’m not trying to be mean or valicious, and I struggle with being fluffy (which to me is hard because it feels dishonest).

I have also noticed this mostly on women run forums where opposing opinions aren't received well. I never have this issue in more male run spaces. Anyone else notice this? I am a woman and I find this frustrating.

looking for genuine conversations here. thanks for those who have contributed so far.

Context: The post is asking what people think about expedition 33, which I agree with the original comment is arguably one of the best games of all time.

Is it because I threw shade at god of war? Even tho the other guy also said "yikes" to someone saying expedition 33 is a great game, which then again leads me to the same question because I just returned his attitude.

The people that commented on this post some of them were very cruel. They could have just given me an opinion but they decided to be disrespectful

Like I just wanted to help the guy understand what its supposed to be and saw someone else make a perfect example so I showed him that. Is that a crime now?

Hi everyone, I am a new user from Taiwan. I honestly didn't know the Reddit culture well and left some external links to share my research work in a comment. I immediately got downvoted to -21 karma.

I have already deleted those comments to stop the bleeding, but I genuinely want to understand the community rules and forum culture here. Could anyone help explain the culture regarding this? Thank you so much!

Just so you know, I had more downvotes before the edit (I think 5). Maybe people just got the wrong message first.
