          tbf I regularly downvote people by accident. Then I’ll be browsing, see that I’ve downvoted someone and think, hang on, they’re right, what was I thinking? Then I realise and undo the mistake. It’s not me this time, though.

              If you regularily visit lemmy, there is much to downvote there, and the interface are identical…

              It’s by accident! I must press the down arrow while I’m scrolling or something. No idea. I’m not choosing to do it. 🙂

              Either that or it’s my dog when I’m not looking. Maybe they dislike all the comments that don’t mention bones, walks, or scratches. I’ll keep an eye out.

      Three accounts about to win back their losses on their next roll.

      Well we do have a few libs that float around but also some people take things very literally and don’t like “ban ALL of X” comments. For instance, banning ALL gambling isn’t necessary feasible or necessary. Are we proposing busting down your door for having a monthly poker night with your friends? Or fining two friends for making a bet on a sports game? This probably wasn’t what you meant, but as I said, some people take things very literally.

      Eh, probably best to not worry too much about the one rando downvote here and there, especially when it isn’t accompanied by a dissenting comment. This is ultimately a political place, people will disagree, but if they don’t give context then you can’t engage with it. There will also be the occasional fed or other adversarial plant doing stuff to cause some disturbance.

          Ah yeah looks like possibly someone could be specifically targeting you. Well, there is a saying, something like: “If you haven’t made enemies, have you made a difference?” or something like that. Don’t remember the exact words, but the spirit is something like that.

          You can also hide vote scores in your settings, pry a good idea for most of us who are bothered by it.

            It’s possible he has an alt on another instance that we federate with, but I doubt he has the foresight to keep it hidden too long. Regardless upvotes and downvotes are not encrypted or anything (they can’t be due to federation), so we can actually see who downvotes if we need to.

          Weird, I see no upvotes except my own 1 up (at score 2) and the one I replied to is at 1 overall.

            Are you using jerboa by any chance? It shows me totally fake up/downvote counts sometimes, a comment i made literally ten seconds ago with 30 up votes… Yeah

            Not that theese fake point matter tbh, we aren’t on reddit
