A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What happened to my profile? (lemmy.world)

Now, most of my recent comments have at least three downvotes, despite being on different posts and regardless of whether they're controversial. If you scroll further, all the comments have at least two downvotes, then at least one downvote, and only my oldest comments don't have this pattern. I'm sure this happened somewhere in the last two hours, because I didn't see it when I checked it earlier. What happened? Did three people dislike me so much at the same time that they downvoted every comment on my profile that they could scroll to?

Oh right, I forgot about that. The theme (or whatever its called) that I use doesn't show the separate numbers, unless I put my mouse over the average number.

But like I said, don't worry about it too much. And I echo the other guy who said that you may have some weirdo following you and downvoting you, just wait it out. Maybe make a new account to get rid of them or whatever.

If it were me, I wouldn't care about such stuff.

A week ago I removed the vote scores entirely, it is surprising how much it changes the entire experience. On one side I gradually stopped worrying about how my comments are doing, and for other I found myself paying more attention to what I read once I don't know what other people think.
