Waking up every day and drinking that Hatorade.
If you don’t like anything on the the platform, why stick around?
You must log in or # to comment.
OP conflating the platform for a single community on it. Nice ragebait bro.
This is a user, not a community. They are downvoting across communities, including stalking people across communities to downvote all of their posts and comments, following communities just to downvote every post and comment, etc.
They downvote over 99% of the posts they see. Why seek out content you don’t like? It’s mildly infuriating. To me at least.
I have no idea who that is - your alt?
Downvoting is valid. You saying it equals hate says more about you than about the downvoters.
edit: hm, apparently this is about the user doing the downvoting, not being downvoted? Still, this is badly anonymized, and that’s my main point.
Nothing against downvoting in general, but some people are extremely toxic about it. I don’t get the point.
Please don’t do a witch hunt - it was censored for a reason. Sorry I didn’t do it thoroughly enough.

I’m not. But if this post should evolve into one, that’s on you. Do the sensible thing and remove it.
Considering how prolific a poster you are I expected higher numbers in every category? Or maybe this username is a new one?
… did I hallucinate you with a christmas-themed burner account, too?
Personally I factor this in with bans on my communities. I very rarely ban, but I do if I notice people like this, who I dub “downvote trolls”. They don’t participate (or when they do it’s negatively), the just downvote constantly.
Now I’m fine with downvotes, I downvote, I think it’s healthy to say “I don’t like this content”. However if all you do is downvote (especially in a specific community) then I view a ban as a win win. We don’t have to deal with your negativity and obviously you don’t enjoy being here anyway from your voting patterns, so everyone wins.
For my communities I have a pretty healthy ratio. If you downvote 80% of the content, you’re on my radar. I won’t ban you on that data alone, but seriously 4 out of 5 votes on the community are on average down then why are you there?
Content from all communities shows up on my feed, like most others’. Confused mods, possibly like you, seem to get angry when the see people regularly downvote content that they seem to be low-quality, even when those people are doing so without regard of the specific community.
If you don’t want to deal with downvotes in a community, you might be better off moving it to an instance that does not support downvotes.
A bit of selfresponsibility would help both sides tho - if you browse /all, you get /all, so instead of downvoting stuff you are not subscribed to and where you might be missing the context of the community, it would be best for you and the others to just filter the community instead of downvoting every single time.
I ignore stuff that’s simply irrelevant to me; I downvote slop and actual garbage in an attempt to help make everything better for everyone.
One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.
If you browse by all and end up always negatively interacting with a community it’s reasonable to get removed from that community
Holy beans that’s a lot of upvotes
🫡
Making Lemmy a better place is its own reward
i downvote any ai slop that crosses my feed
