If it was here on Lemmy, there's a good chance many of the downvotes are the same person on multiple accounts engaging in vote manipulation. Probably true on Reddit, too, but much harder to confirm since none of that stuff is public.

I can't believe that shit is a thing. I mean, don't these ppl know about having a job, a favorite PC-game or at the very least smoking weed?

Touching grass (all interpretations)

(checks notes, statistically analyzing frequency patterns, outsourcing to consulting firm) Apparently not!

I complained about this downvoting behavior in the past (on a different account), pointing out specific accounts, and the admins and mods don't care. They told me not to complain, instead.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 3 months ago

I wouldn't put it past some instance admins to be the ones engaging in the vote manipulation themselves. There's plenty of dickhead admins that spun up their own instances because their views aren't welcome elsewhere and they can more easily control an echo chamber.

If it was on .world no, they don’t care.

[-] BillyClark@piefed.social 4 points 3 months ago

The mods were on .world. The accounts were from several different instances.

[-] Rhoeri@piefed.world 4 points 3 months ago

I figured. They’d rather not rock the boat than do what’s right.

Also, downvotes are fun to collect! All of you're grandmother's r poopieheads!
