I started seeing a weird trend on Lemmy that I cannot understand.

Weeks ago, posts used to have downvotes and upvotes in the semi-rational range you would expect.

Out of nowhere, it seems like almost all the posts I see now have zero downvotes with some exceptions.

What is happening here exactly?

    I mean personally I rarely downvote. Im not quite more likely to block than downvote but I think they are close in terms of how often the action is taken. Then again I don’t upvote often although it is the more likely thing that I might do. The most common thing I do is just comment.
