If some things get downvoted way out of proportion, and those downvotes come mostly from people in certain instances, and instances have the power to block each other, it stands to reason some instance out there managed to block the instances that contribute the most downvotes, causing them to have mainly upvotes. Right?
I don’t know why downvotes mean so much to you on here with Lemmy. Getting downvotes don’t necessarily prevent you from posting as it would on Reddit.
