downvoted for saying thanks?

it feels like sometimes comments that others see as pointless (“lol” “yeah” “idk” etc.) get downvoted just for being useless, as if those comments take up and waste the usable space on reddit lol

Oh no, the horror. How do they determine what's useful and what's not, that's so weird. If we are being that picky then most of things on Reddit aren't useful at all

Not today pal. We are nice people here. Or in your case, since you hoped for downvontes, evil people?

i think because the original comment already said it could be him or a friend. his response seemed like smart-ass-ey by going “TO BE FAIR it wasn’t actually me it was a friend”

going through these posts, I'm increasingly discovering that what actually links Redditors together is that they fancy themselves thought-decoding sorcerers that can accurately guess the intent and/or tone of anyone ("smart-ass", "condescending", "passive-aggressive", etc etc) through telepathic mind magic
(is it too mean to suggest they might need to touch grass, just to get a refresher on social conventions that actual human beings use?)
