Did anyone else here noticed?
No matter the subject or your opinion, there’s always people down voting you.
I don’t care about up/down votes but we can’t deny that’s a way to know the acceptance of your thoughts by the community.
I tried to make some posts absolute neutral, just asking simple things to see if people discuss and interact which each other and me, I just got down voted out of nowhere.
Right now I’m seeing the karma count fighting going up and down, some people just down vote out of nowhere without any possible logic explanation.
Did anyone figure out what’s up with those people?
Discussing on Reddit feels like a fight to know who has the best opinion of all, you just aren’t allowed to think different or they’ll down vote you to hell.
This is also true with long diatribes that are packed with bullshit but that drain your time to debunk.
This is the type that I feel is common on lemmy.
If you dive into them, eventually youll find the ideas all fall apart, the sources are weird, biased and funded by groups you wouldn’t take seriously etc etc, but at that point, you are exhausted, and you are probably not going to put in nearly as much effort into arguing as their prepared copypasta “literature” collections, nor as nice.
I would think this was a tactic to make a casual observer think “well that second person isn’t as reasonable as the first one who posted a lot of information” if they didn’t check the info themselves, but these posts are often so 0-100 hostile in attitude out of the gate, I can only think they serve to simply tire people out, and run obstruction.
