A cat entered my tent
(lemmy.world)
Just as i had set up my tent she came in, was raining outside. We've been hanging out here for half an hour already. I hope she won't spike my sleeping pad. Necklace says her name is Kyra. Love it 🥹
I'm looking into it using data from my instance to check it isn't an abuse issue.
What I know so far:
Also could be someone that responds to negative posts/reactions more and just lurks. I used to be that way in early days of reddit. Most of my votes were downvotes with very few upvotes given out. As I got a bit older I kind if quit giving much of a shit, and now I seek out positive posts instead of looking for negative shit all the time.
Either way votes are even more futile on lemmy. They barely have any impact on anything and it's not like the threads here reach the thousands of comments where a relatively few votes would bury a comment. There's also no karma so it's even less impactful. I personally think it's good that way but whatever. To each their own!
One of my favorite things about Lemmy. I love that the fake internet points have no real impact and karma farming is not incentivized. On Reddit and SO, it was a good idea to try to give something to judge authenticity on but, like everything else, people found ways to game it for nefarious purposes. Overall, I think the experiment showed that karma points do more harm than good.
So actual hunan downvote bots do exists. I've always wondered but never had the opportunity to check.
