I see a lot of posts here with zero or negative total votes. I posted one just a bit ago and it went to zero pretty quickly. I don’t personally care, but it seems curious. It’s not like this is a political community or something divisive. What would make someone downvote before they even know what the song is?

    There are a lot of posts that are just a picture of a person (or a train, for some reason). I can see those getting legitimately downvoted because they seem too vague to guess a song title.

    If there is a downvote bot, given that Lemmy is federated, it should be possible for a server operator to detect that kind of activity.

      I’d be nice to have some kind of hint after x hours/a day.

      I thought about that - those posts big me, too, but if you scan through it doesn’t appear that it’s confined to those. In fact, the one I posted that got quickly downvoted isn’t one of those.

      I’m sure you’re right that the admins can see.
