Are you sure you're not just on someone's bad side? Why do you suspect this is bots?
Someone commented the other day that they thought their ex was following then and down voting every comment. I do sometimes see posts or comments with one downvote and wonder why.
Because it's so consistant. Exactly one downvote on most of my comments within minutes of it being posted. I could see if I were on someones bad side, and they did this for like a week........this has been since day 1 of me being here, and it's almost every comment.
The ONLY thing I could think of that would piss someone off to stalk a profile like that, is if someone who uses and loves linux is THAT upset that I don't understand linux. But the consistancy of it is just........I can't imagine this is human. It's just been going on for so long, on too many posts, and almost immediately after posting a comment. You'd think they'd give up if it were a human.
I went through your comment history and I think you pass the vibe check, as in, there's no reason someone should down vote by default. I think something is up but a bot targeting a random account seems weird. Which client do you use?
Mostly my phone. I just use the samsung browser and go to the site directly. No app. Right now I'm on my tablet. Same concept, samsung tablet. Samsung browser.
Oddly enough, I can't use my PC at home. Firefox just will not load Lemmy, and I don't know why. It loads parts of it......but the bulk of the page is just an endless spinny circle.
You're getting a lot of downvotes in this thread, are people trying to be funny or am I missing something
I think they're trying to be funny. I've also noticed a mild uptick in downvotes overall. Used to be 1 downvote per comment. Now it's like 2-3 per comment, but it's not consistant. So I'm thinking that'll die off when they get bored. It doesn't feel like automatic bot downvote style.
Since the new update some instances are counting votes at zero.
I'm not sure how you see the upvotes/downvotes, but on my UI I see in the upper right, the total calculated votes. But in the lower left I see Upvotes, and Downvotes individually. Plus when I post, my upvoting my own comment is automatic.
looking at your recent comments from the last 3 days, many of your comments don't have any downvotes. am I missing something?
Have they lost their mind?
Here's a good example.
https://lemmy.world/comment/10869251
Posted on a post that was last commented on 26 days ago. I post that comment, and now within 2 minutes, downvote. Another different comment in the same topic, same thing, within 5 minutes.
this doesn't seem to be targeted against you, just someone not liking the comment. some people order their feed by e.g. active, so such cases will show up quickly.
I would assume "on the ropes" was a reference to Andre being a wrestler. Don't think it was meant to be about his death.
He made it sound like it was a dark joke that he was appologizing for. To my knowledge Andre didn't get involved in anything dark. So death is the first thing that comes to mind for me. I probably am wrong, because either way I still don't get why the joke would be funny in either case.
