I’m on a random app and while it’s obvious if I pay attention. I, occasionally, tap the down arrow by mistake while scrolling. Usually when I do this I notice it and undo it, but I imagine it’s happened a few times without me noticing.
Just saying it’s possible it’s some donkey like me that fat fingered a downvote.
Every once in a while I’ll accidentally bump an upvote or downvote as I’m scrolling. I think I usually catch it but I’m assuming that I’ve left downvotes on plenty of entirely normal comments when I don’tcatch it. Whenever I get a random downvote I just assume it’s from the same thing.
If you maintain an account on an instance that does not hide the identities behind votes, like Kbin, it’s a simple thing to know. I don’t usually look, but occasionally I’m curious.
EDITED TO ADD: I just looked at Kbin, they do not appear to be showing downvotes anymore (every post and comment on my page has a downvote total of zero) so scratch that, lol
I’ve never asked. It’s happened twice to me on Lemmy: once it was readily apparent because they tangled with me and I guess I really pissed them off, and the other time it was someone I’d never openly interacted with at all. In neither instance was a question going to get more of an answer than I already had, IMO.
Reddit posts making it into the “news” making it into the Fediverse…
How else would you have liked this bit of amusement presented to you?
From Facebook or Instagram, as is tradition!
With dinner and a date
Only if my wife says I can.
She’s cool with it.
Lol I like how someone downvoted your reply for no reason
Sometimes I really wonder about the reasoning behind a downvote. Sucks that I’ll never know.
Someone regularly goes through my post history and downvotes every comment. What does it accomplish? I have no idea.
Yeah the obvious “going down the list” downvotes are funny to me. Especially if the comment is less than a couple minutes old. Good times
I’m a rampant clicker/tapper and I bet I’ve unknowingly downvoted more than a few folks.
I don’t know how you browse Lemmy, but on the default view in Firefox, downvotes are red and upvotes are blue, so it’s hard to make that mistake.

I’m sure it’s the Anti Squid Society - flying squids are an abomination and that A.S.S. wants to squash them

But even if I knew who did it, I wouldn’t know why they did it, and it wouldn’t be worth asking them.
