    I know what you are talking about, but I try not to think about it too much. First of all, you have no way of knowing for sure that they are being passive aggressive, or just trying to be polite but coming off awkwardly. I hate when people make assumptions on how I must be feeling, so I try not to make assumptions about them. Maybe they got some bad news that day, are struggling with something I’m unaware of, etc.

    If I do detect some sort of aggression, I just try to complete my part of the transaction as quickly as possible and be on my way. Maybe they are irritated, but I don’t need to hang around to find out, and digging into it isn’t going to help either of us.


  • Depends on a few things. If someone took the time to reply to my comment or post, they get an upvote as long as they’re not being a jerk, even if they disagree with me.

    If it’s a post or comment in a post in a smaller community I upvote to show appreciation for their participation.

    Funny / clever comments get an upvote.

    I only downvote if they’re being a jerk. Disagreement does not warrant a downvote from me, if they are being civil about it.

    As for tipping culture being built in to Lemmy, or in general, hell no - downvote for even mentioning that. /s
