why the hatred....only here

Question

why the hatred? Only on askubuntu is just about every question down-voted. take this:

failed to start dockerd after installing docker with snap (artful, 17.10)

even when there is a comment, like "what is the environment", generally that's in the question. There's nothing wrong with the question.

Blah.

It's unique to this specific stack overflow site. Sure, I get down-voted questions -- maybe even more than my fair share.

My perception is that, at least recently, most every single question on askubuntu get's an initial downvote. sometimes this is canceled out to a zero, and that's fine.

(For what it's worth, the rep/score isn't my concern, it's more that a down-voted question will garner fewer responses -- presumably.)

It's possible that my perception is off. It just seems that someone(s) following my questions and downvoting them. hey, maybe I annoy them. I dunno.

If it's random and or deserved then so be it. But I notice tha my questions on, particularly, linux stackoverflow, are better received. Maybe I just ask better questions there. But maybe not.

I would expect the standards to be about the same.

Answer 1

Your perception is indeed wrong. At least with respect to the sites you mentioned:

Site           Total Qs    Downvoted Qs    Percentage
Ask Ubuntu      238559      13251             5.55
Unix & Linux    118261      9744              8.24
Stack Overflow  14258884    1676744           11.76

The table above shows¹ the total number of questions asked in the past month (since 20-10-2017), the number of those that have been downvoted and what percentage of the total questions have been downvoted. As you can see, this site is actually the one with the lowest percentage of downvoted questions, not the highest as you are suggesting.

And these are the statistics of your own questions (all the questions you've asked on these sites):

Site            Total Qs    Downvoted Qs   Percentage
Ask Ubuntu       149            12            8.05
Unix & Linux     66             5             7.58
Stack Overflow   344            23            6.69

So yes, you do seem to have a slightly higher percentage of downvoted questions on AU, but the difference is negligible. At least with respect to U&L, anyway. But even when comparing to SO, the difference is 0.013, which can't really be called "large".

So, in conclusion, I'm afraid the numbers don't support your perception that you're being downvoted significantly more here than on other sites.

Answer 2

Hatred?

There is no hatred here, only love...

... for the Almighty Ubuntu (And to be honest: Yes we don't like Kali questions nor Minty ones but to investigate something we need some more than your original question contained, corrected in the meantime)

Maybe there is one disgruntled, hateful person that wants to leave the community, cannot get rid of his/her rep and decided to act like a royal pain in the lower abdomen, maybe someone doesn't like your handle, maybe someone knows you personally and is following you around trying to make you upset, ...
