i’ve seen quite a few users with one downvote on every single comment for no reason and it makes me wonder if people are disagreeing, stalking users, or just a weird bot account.

    I think we have a few knuckleheads who think it improves the algorithm and don’t realize that Lemmy doesn’t work that way.

    i.e. meh, not my type of post. I don’t care about trains. Downvote! Similar idea with comments thinking somehow it will show them better comments.

    I sooner attribute this to ignorance rather than malice.

      Votes mean less on Lemmy than they did on Reddit. So we can sweat it less what people do with them. Not a big deal.
