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?
Better comments and posts as the kids are busy going back-to-school?
We’re all just feeling very upbeat and supportive lately
Down to Hell.
hehehe I am downvoting as an act of tomfoolery >:)
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.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.
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
