Some people do it to boost their own post by extension. ie: they post, upvote theirs with alt accounts, downvote all others.

I think there are some people online stuck in a very negative headspace.
Sometimes I write something I know will be controversial. Sometimes I write something I'm surprised is controversial, but I see it from a different angle and I understand. Sometimes I'm just flat wrong and the downvotes teach me something.
And then sometimes I write something so benign that I assume any downvotes are coming from people so angry about the controversial thing I wrote that they clicked on my profile and downvoted something else to vent their frustration.
I wanted to keep the downvoting theme going and downvote you because it's funny, but I can't make myself do it.
But yeah, I get what you're saying. Oddly enough, I've seen downvotes on random things like pictures of someone's dog, or something like that. It's like, who can downvote an adorable dog? ๏ฟผ
I did it for both you guys, and then myself so's fair
Thank you! I love Lemmy ๐
May I please have some?
Gotchoo
