I started seeing a weird trend on Lemmy that I cannot understand.
Weeks ago, posts used to have downvotes and upvotes in the semi-rational range you would expect.
Out of nowhere, it seems like almost all the posts I see now have zero downvotes with some exceptions.
What is happening here exactly?
We’re all just feeling very upbeat and supportive lately
Better comments and posts as the kids are busy going back-to-school?
Possible reason:
Those that downvoted everything they find uninteresting when checking All have realized voting isn’t anonymous and stopped or been banned from the comms they mass downvote by a moderator who check who it is that downvotes all posts.hehehe I am downvoting as an act of tomfoolery >:)
I mean personally I rarely downvote.
I agree with @HubertManne, however I’m
a bitheavy handed with the Block button and surprised my instance admin hasn’t said anything. It’skindalong.Better comments and posts as the kids are busy going back-to-school?
Yesssssssss, @Nemo. My thoughts exactly.
Down to Hell.
A few weeks ago people got reminded that votes aren’t private, so a few people have probably stopped downvoting stuff as much.
I’ve enjoyed using lemvotes; I find it pretty funny that lemmy.ml has the shadow instance the tool uses blocked
It’s not a shadow instance :D
(See the instance I’m replying to you from)
Here’s one to test
What a noble sacrifice
