I feel like non political posts are controversial more often now than they were before. Ive seen it on some communities I visit often.

Maybe I'm seeing smth that isn't there.

Maybe its to do with more reddit migrations who aren't as accusatomed to Lemmy?

Has anyone else noticed it?

Yep I've heard of the downvotes only accounts too. Infact I've heard of admins wanting to remove em too

Maybe we could make it so when you get an upvote you "spend it" when you down vote? Would also encourage everyone to upvote more too.

Dont need anymore gamification of social media. Best just to ignore it imo
