I started seeing a weird trend on Lemmy that I cannot understand.
Weeks ago, posts used to have downvotes and upvotes in the semi-rational range you would expect.
Out of nowhere, it seems like almost all the posts I see now have zero downvotes with some exceptions.
What is happening here exactly?
Yep, it’s definitely a tradeoff, but in my experience someone absolutely ratioing a comment, rather than leaving it uncontested, is far more effective. For genuinely bad content with no merit, mods can still remove comments.
