It's also a lot of bots. They are here too. For example, just say China plus something negative about them, ~~in a thread about China~~. Easiest downvoted one can get. Make sure it's a fact and not whataboutism, to avoid contaminating the test.

I mostly see them on political communities, but based on your downvotes, they might be getting out

It's two downvotes (at least on lemmy.ml at this point in time). Is it hard to imagine that 2 out of 16 people could dislike seeing someone say that anything that doesn't fit their narrative is the result of bots?

At the time of writing that comment, it was 2 - 2, with one upvote from me.

Is it still -2 for you though?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It has 19 upvotes with 2 downvotes at the moment, which is a much more realistic ratio than what it was.

That's weird, because it also has 2 downvotes for me at the moment (which means it can't be some weird federation issue), but assuming that you originally saw 2 downvotes before I came along, then something something can't be right because I am one of the two downvoters and I only saw the comment some hours after your comment in this thread (judging from the timestamp of my comment) (or maybe I visited the post once, then came back to leave a comment?).
