I do the same, not like the downvotes mean anything to me.
Looking at how many there are with 0 replies though, I’d happily bet at least a couple are bots.
I hope I’m wrong though.
Nah I think they’re people, it’s people who like to jump on downvote trains. Most people just lurk and move on though.
But yeah, lemmy votes are pretty meaningless in the long run - and that’s a good thing. All the things reddit did with votes (hiding comments, rate limiting) were some of the first steps that made the site shit. Also, if lemmy votes were meaningful, they’d have a far bigger problem with vote manipulation across multiple instances.
