To be fair, they have made almost 16k downvotes total; 425 just this week. More of a heavy voter in general than a serial downvoter though, as they also make a lot of upvotes (about 2/3 downvotes to 1/3 upvotes) and the downvotes seem to be across a wide range of content.

So this is less serial downvoting, and more just an active user with high standards.

Legit, I'm not sure what ratio I'd be at, but I pepper in a goodly number of downs nowadays because there's been a shift in off topic posts, and comments that are similarly out of place or just so bad that they merit the mark.

Either that or I'm noticing them more, I dunno. I did take a semi break from lemmy for a while, so maybe that break did shift my awareness of such things.

Way I see it, unless someone is down voting everything, and doing so regularly, that's part of the point of them existing. It's a way of weighting the relative merits of a given post or comment. Is it on topic? Is it useful and fitting for the thread/community? Is it nasty enough to be out of line? There's more reasons to down vote than there are reasons to up, overall.

That's not how tariffs work, and you know it.

No clue why they banned you, but the person at the top of the comment thread is doing a bit: "I'm probably not far..." > McMurdo Station, Antarctica > "I expect the banana to still be fresh when it arrives on the next resupply plane in May." And pieguy was playing along, providing a plausible excuse for not shipping to Antarctica. Nobody was planning to ship plants internationally.

Edit to add: lmao I just noticed the original post, $400 for big onion. It's jokes all the way down.

It's like I'm on Reddit again.

You've had a rough month. I'm so sorry this keeps happening to you.

Thank you for your support. Once again, these cronies are bringing shame to canada.
