I still cannot believe it... first ever to get Rebirth! I'm so happy about finally getting this after all of the attempts. Thanks to everyone for the support...
I don’t have the expertise to check the API, myself, but I’ve noticed a ton of innocent comments lately all having -1. Mbin shows the upvote and downvote counts separately, so I can see that entire threads are all receiving a single downvote, presumably from a single user. Seems like somebody’s being a gremlin and just downvoting everything they see.
I’ve been noticing that ever since I joined Lemmy over a year ago. Feels like people are way more trigger happy with downvotes here. It’s not a big deal though.
I mod for a community that doesn’t align with the interests of a ‘typical’ lemmy user and a lot of our posts get a negative vote or two early in their lifespan. I just assume that the fedi is full of haters lol
I went to your profile expecting to see you modding and commenting on a community about how great it is to subjugate others or something. I forget that some folks hate sports so much that they also don’t want others to enjoy sports.
I say dumb shit from time to time, especially while drunk, and I’ve noticed after that I tend to have several comments in a row downvoted pretty quickly no matter the subject or thread. Things that are completely unrelated.
I’m not saying that’s what happened here, it’s just a trend I’ve noticed.
Who the fuck downvoted you?

It’s just more visible since downvotes and upvotes are shown separately. On the old site, that hasn’t been the case for years.
Nah, I noticed that on clients without separate counts. A LOT of comments go down to 0 before climing back again (or not).
I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.
I think they start on 0 here though. Reddit automatically upvotes your own posts, but not here

Yeah doesn’t make sense to me, I don’t downvote anime or foodporn posts and sometimes I even read them. It ain’t much but it’s honest work

Their comment sounds like something you spam on a bunch of posts to get someone to click the scam link.
Voyager Mobile is short swipe to upvote and long swipe to downvote. Sometimes mistakes happen.
