    Among the stuff I learned n reddit, up/downvotes make no sense at all. You can make a one-line joke and get a ton of upvote while if you make a long-sourced-argumented comments you get downvoted .

    But yhea, there is some issues with mass downvoters, especially on LW, it’s even worse when you post in other language than english. Don’t take-it personnally

    From Mbin, I can see who upvoted your challenge contribution but not who downvoted it (I thought it was public too)

      It was public on kbin, which is the project that mbin forked. They changed mbin to hide the downvotes. I think that was a mistake, personally.

        Pretty sure kbin still doesn’t federate downvotes.

        So we can only see downvotes from other kbin accounts.

        If you view on original instance the voting patterns are a bit different (especially lemmy.world which can be a bit more right wing).

        z.b. wenn du post auf [email protected] ein franzozish sprechende c/ auf LW viel posts werden untergestimmet (gibt es ein Wort fur Downvotes) , nicht viel aber genug sodass diese poste kriegen ein null.

        Aber hier ist es schlimmer als die sprache is auf engels defieniert

        (scheisse, ich soll ofter Deutsch sprechen/schreiben, ich habe dass gefühl dass ich habe viel vergessen)

          Franz*sisch ist was anderes.

          Nein Spaß, dein Deutsch ist in Ordnung! Nicht perfekt, aber dafür, dass du es nicht oft benutzt, schon gut.

      i don’t care much about up/down votes when it’s on a comment or a post but this indiscriminate downvoting of even the conversational comments is incomprehensible.
