No I’m not. Even other people are asking why you all are downvoting. lol
You’re just making baseless assumptions and accusations about people you know nothing about. Which is good enough reason right there for them to down vote you.

But the article was downvoted before I said that. I gave that explanation after someone commented on all the downvotes.
So any explanation? :)
I actually don’t care about downvotes or upvotes. I won’t stop posting and I won’t leave Lemmy. But someone asked and I gave the reason.
Nothing exists in a vacuum. People can see your history.
So then I was right. People are downvoting based on politics. Which I mentioned.
Now why would someone look up someone’s “history” before reading a non-political science article posted in a non-political science community?! And then downvote based on that history rather than the actual science article?!
Then why did you reply: “Nothing exists in a vacuum. People can see your history”?
What “history” would you be referring too? And what would that have to do with downvotes? You mentioned the history aspect, so maybe you can clarify.
And why would someone click on a poster’s “history” before downvoting a non-political science article in a non-political science community from a recognized and valued source?
People can see your profile and down vote you for reasons other than politics. To assume only politics would mean you purposely choose that display name to start a fight.

Fair point. So what in my profile do you think people would downvote me for? It doesn’t say anything provocative, so I’m curious. And then if someone were downvoting me for my profile, then my original point stands, that people are downvoting for political reason. Because why else would someone downvote a science article based on a non-provocative profile.
And again, I would have to ask, what type of people view on a posters profile before downvoting a non-political science article from a valid source, and posted to a non-political science community?
To assume only politics would mean you purposely choose that display name to start a fight.
But what about my screen name would cause that? Because the name may be poltical? And if so, wouldn’t that yet again, validate my original point that it’s about politics and not the science?!
I have not chosen anything to start any fights. Nor have I advocated any fighting, arguing, or violence. I’ve also engaged in no namecalling.
So if it’s not about politics, then what could it be? Because my name doesn’t say any bad words, or have any slurs in it. Care to explain what would be offensive about my name or profile if it’s not politics?
I’m not the one who made their whole identity about conservatism. Normally that’d be fine, don’t get me wrong, but you seem to see yourself as superior to everyone else here for that very reason.

I wonder who would do that?
People can see my history, too. But I don’t assume people down vote me because of my politics.
So the downvotes aren’t about politics?
