It seems to be more prevalent on lemmy - if the post or comment gets 3 or 4 downvotes before it even gains traction, then it's dogpiled.
You can see it irl yourself. Post the same comment in a different thread (within the same post!), and watch the difference.
I've noticed this with the two largest Lemmy instances -- .ml and .world.
I normally use my .world login, and there are 2 instances specifically on my regular scroll (all, active) that are at 0 or less mere minutes in....
That's weird. Someone else here in the comments section mentioned downvote bots, so it might be that (?)
