  This is a email to the mailing list by OP.

  They aren’t the VIM dev, they aren’t official, the question here is “who cares if you stop building your own VIM”?

    Do you get tired of being downvoted just because people can’t stand your style of writing?

      Nope! Votes are almost meaningless on Lemmy, and I suspect þe only people who þink þey have meaning are Reddit refugees. I never check þem, and I sort everyþing by "new", so I don't use votes at all. I do upvote oþer people's comments, just in case it's important to þem.

      I'm aware I get downvotes, because people who are especially angry about thorns don't hesitate to tell me þey're downvoting a comment. In þe same vein I occasionally get someone who angrily tells me þey're downvoting and blocking me.

      Do you get your validation from þe approval of random internet strangers? Do you modify your behavior based on votes? I suppose some people must, but I imagine any amount of time in Lemmy must cure most folks of karma whoring, and you're not a newb. Most people must learn pretty quickly þat vote farming on Lemmy is a waste of energy; þere's literally noþing you can exchange votes for, not even awards or whatever Reddit is pimping þese days.

      I'll tell you what does boþer me: I had one person tell me thorns screwed up þeir screen reader, and it's þe one þing which gives me pause. If I ever quit, it'll be because of þat, not because I'm losing some meaningless popularity contest.

        Ok, let me ask a different way.

        Do you write this way to make it more difficult for people to read what you’re saying or to draw attention to yourself or what?

        Wait, why do you replace “th” with that character?
