    Someone actually downvoted you to “test” that. The reddit mentality is already starting. Lol

      There’s no accumulated karma score though. People should be less sensitive about downvotes and I’m hoping it will mitigate low effort karma-seeking content, at least somewhat.

        Actually, that raises a point - do upvotes and downvotes here affect post visibility? Much as Reddit has a lot of karma-whoring, it was still useful that a lot of the best content was surfaced on the front page. Is Lemmy the same, or does it just put the newest stuff up top?

          There are sorts by hot and top, yes. I don’t know the details of voting and/or replies that score comment order.

      Due to the live updating of vote counts, I just watched someone downvote, then remove their downvote a few times to test it.
