Preface: Love this instance, happy to be here and this isnt a complaint just an observation.

OK so I mod a few communities across several instances, big and small. 3 on this very instance, I have noticed a pattern that posts on this instance tend to get a consistent early downvote count.

This might be my bad observations or the type of posts I see so I'd love to hear if anyone else has noticed the same.

It seems to be more prevalent on lemmy

I've noticed this with the two largest Lemmy instances -- .ml and .world.

I don't mod any communities but I do put in the effort to curate my "All" feed and most of the users & communities I block come from those 2 instances. Toss hexbear on there and that's almost 100%.

The .world is tricky bc it is such a large instance and that's where many new lemmings land so it's always going to be messy.

I still have my world account but never use it. I prefer being part of db0.

I specifically avoid all three of them as well, along with Beehaw.

I normally use my .world login, and there are 2 instances specifically on my regular scroll (all, active) that are at 0 or less mere minutes in....

That's weird. Someone else here in the comments section mentioned downvote bots, so it might be that (?)
