so much as expressing anger at what’s happening
Downvoting submissions that are appropriate, on-topic, and rules-following to the communities they’re in is not using the platform sensibly.
Votes determine people’s feeds, and people without the emotional self control to not manipulate other people’s feeds for their own emotional regulation make the feeds of everyone else worse and I’m so fucking tired of seeing it. This lack of respect for how voting interacts with what other people see just creates an echo-chamber because the visibility of anything appropriate-but-disliked gets suppressed. Childish tribalist stupidity to sabotage not just one platform, but EVERYTHING connected to it because we’re using interoperable federated platforms. To the best of my knowledge, having looked at how both lemmy and mbin process votes, none of the software involved here has sophisticated enough vote processing to enable people to use it in this way.
