Then you haven't posted enough and/or love the "herd mentality" -- it's my 1 month in and I already been massively downvoted twice by randoms with multiple accounts.

Shut up and take my upvote.

I probably used this service more when it comes to upvotes and comments than Reddit I always used Libreddit

Maybe the reddit admins add toxicity to improve engagement? Post/comment manipulation seems common on internet today.

Maybe on mainstream social media rude comments overhang the good ones, not by quantity, but due to the amount of dislikes, big techs strategies of evidence to keep the users engagement, probably dislike a comment is worst then just ignore it. Note I'm not saying that it happens on Lemmy. I think it should be interesting a mechanism that put at the end of the thread the most disliked comments.

It's just social credit. Why care?

I disagree, but I uovoted you anyway. ;-)

I mean, here's an upvote and a glass of filtered water. Anything else before I sit back down?

Think again fuckface.

people are the same, they hate being criticized.
