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?
Some instances turned off downvotes. While on the other hands some accounts are mass down voting. For reason I don’t get, upvotes are public but downvotes are private. IMO downvoters name should be available too
People are mostly cowards/can’t handle disagreement and criticism and they don’t wanna drive engagement down? 🤔
