Eh. Looking through your post and comment history, you donāt have a lot of stuff excessively downvoted. This post has a few downvotes (probably people being funny given the topic) and one you deleted that apparently you struck a nerve with.
Iād chalk it up to āshit happensā. Youāre not always going to be agreeable. Itās okay. Iāve seen some of your interactions in the lemmyapps community, and while I personally may not agree with you all the time, I donāt find it offensive enough to downvote.
Kbin doesnāt federate downvotes from other instances though, so you can only see the downvotes made through Kbin. I believe for Lemmy, the only way to see the identities of voters is through direct database access. Maybe some third party apps show that though?
The vote federation is different though, not sure if it's just downvotes that don't transfer but you can be downvoted on lemmy and it may not show on Kbin. Looking at OP's account here doesn't show a pattern of being downvoted, for instance.
Well I have noticed it with my own and comments from others. Like someone saying something completely friendly/neutral and there is always that 1 downvote. Only 1.
I don't really mind the downvotes themselves, but if people disagree with something, please say it! This is why we are here. To discuss things (in a friendly manner). I can't learn anything new or think out of the box if people just downvote and leave.
Some people use apps which hide posts they have interacted with. A downvote counts as interaction so people in turn then liberally downvote nearly everything. Yes it's unhelpful and dumb. Solution, use kbin and at least you can see who downvoted you! (Except I don't think downvotes are federated).
