Comment on Do you care about up/down votes?

There are only two things I think about when it comes to vote count:
-
if I make a joke, and it’s not being replied to but being downvoted I want to know if people understood the joke or if the joke was just not funny.
-
If I see a question being asked that doesn’t appear to be in bad faith being downvoted, and not answered, it pisses me off.

One thing I hope everyone takes from reddit, the troll’s main weapon is downvoting in droves. I’ve seen 6 upvotes happen in under a minute on Lemmy and we don’t have that kind of user base. Some posts don’t even get federated that quickly. If the question was in good faith and downvoted, it was probably trolls. I hope you don’t take that personal.

For sure, there are a lot of lurkers. The speed in which they upvote obvious trolls is unnatural.
