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?
For mental health reasons I’ve set my client to display the vote total, rather than independent up and down votes.
Good choice. I picked an instance with downvotes disabled. Can’t give 'em, can’t see 'em. Every post has 1+ up and 0 down from my view.
I much prefer forums with upvote only and report for posts that break community rules.
