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?
Edit: Oh, and also. Banning a user from a community does not appear affect that community’s visibility to that user, i.e. they can still see it. They just can’t participate in it. I am banned from a smattering of communities either due to my own chutzpah (one of them is clearly a troll sub, you probably know the one) and a few at dubvee.org (presumably because someone there thought I pissed in their cornflakes at some point, though search me as to why or how since I never went there) and I can still see all of the content in those places.
It does prevent them from downvoting anything in it, though. At least it should if the world still makes any sense.
