    Because some of us have fat fingers and accidentally downvote when we scroll on mobile.

    One of the things I liked about reddit was that, since it saved downvoted posts, I could go through the list every once in a while and undownvote the accidents.

    Can’t do that here though, and I sometimes notice posts or comments I’ve accidentally downvoted.

    Anyway, people shouldn’t care so much, we don’t have a karma system or the like here anyways, so why does it matter?

      What client are you using? I can browse both upvoted and downvoted comments in Voyager

        I’m using eternity, which hasn’t received any updates, on my phone, and the default lemmy web interface on my computer.

        Maybe I need to try some other options.

      Well, only speaking for myself, I don’t care, it just seemed so weird since it was an accurate single word, so I was curious.

      I also wonder sometimes if it’s a bot system purposely trying to force engagement.

      Lol trust me, I get downvotes all the time for things I say here on Lemmy. If I let them bother me I’d be in the psychiatric system by now.
