What's the deal with the constant downvotes on the constantly recycled 'My beloved King' / 'For You, My Hero' / 'For my awesome prince' / etc. community? - EDIT: Did I say something wrong? (lemmy.world)

It might be a different user, a different community name, but it's always the same: mostly NSFW pictures (sometimes not even revealing), 0 comments and a ~-6 score. The pictures are mostly about an erotic/romantic encounter between two people. Then the community disappears, resurfaces with a randomly similar name, and the same happens again.

Why?

I’ve seen it repeatedly.

At first I assumed it was someone grieving over, and longing for, a lost loved one, and went a little “internet crazy.” That’s the vibe I got from the posts; like it’s a shrine, memorial, outlet or something.

I’m not sure anymore, especially with how random the images tend to be.

I don’t mind its presence, though. It feels “old internet weird.”

EDIT: And I’ve never seen anyone else bring it up. TBH I thought I was the only one who noticed.

Same. I was wondering when someone would bring this topic up.

I actually thought about contacting the server owner about this trend, to see if they could curtail it. I've seen at least seven of these communities pop up and disappear. It's getting annoying.

I'm not sure it warrants it? People can post whatever they want in their own communities, and I didn't see anything against the rules.

And (most importantly), I've never seen it linked to solicitation or spamming. But if it is, that's a different story.
