I started seeing a weird trend on Lemmy that I cannot understand.

Weeks ago, posts used to have downvotes and upvotes in the semi-rational range you would expect.

Out of nowhere, it seems like almost all the posts I see now have zero downvotes with some exceptions.

What is happening here exactly?

    A few weeks ago people got reminded that votes aren’t private, so a few people have probably stopped downvoting stuff as much.
