I still cannot believe it... first ever to get Rebirth! I'm so happy about finally getting this after all of the attempts. Thanks to everyone for the support...

    I don’t have the expertise to check the API, myself, but I’ve noticed a ton of innocent comments lately all having -1. Mbin shows the upvote and downvote counts separately, so I can see that entire threads are all receiving a single downvote, presumably from a single user. Seems like somebody’s being a gremlin and just downvoting everything they see.

      I say dumb shit from time to time, especially while drunk, and I’ve noticed after that I tend to have several comments in a row downvoted pretty quickly no matter the subject or thread. Things that are completely unrelated.

      I’m not saying that’s what happened here, it’s just a trend I’ve noticed.

      I’ve been noticing that ever since I joined Lemmy over a year ago. Feels like people are way more trigger happy with downvotes here. It’s not a big deal though.

        It’s just more visible since downvotes and upvotes are shown separately. On the old site, that hasn’t been the case for years.

          Nah, I noticed that on clients without separate counts. A LOT of comments go down to 0 before climing back again (or not).

            I think there are a few unchecked bots that do that. Every once in a while I’ll make a post or comment and it goes to 0 immediately.
