At least on Reddit there was some leveling of downvotes built into the algorithm. This site is making it seem like any slight disagreement leads to downvotes thus encouraging more echo chambers. Maybe it's the communities I'm commenting on?

Not downvotes, but I have noticed that some of my comments are either being deleted or hidden?

Either it's an issue on Lemmys end, or we got Spez wanna be mods in here deleting shit they don't like or disagree with.

I’ve noticed that other people’s comments are hidden on some posts I’ve seen, like it says there are 8 but I see 2.

Is this a Mastodon/kbin versus Lemmy issue, is that it? I was under the impression that Mastodon users can post to Lemmy but not vice versa, but I don’t know anything about not being able to see comments in a post whose instance you can interact with otherwise.

Lemmy has bug in counting too. Comments are often missing because of replication issues between servers. But the most common issue I'v seen with inflated comment numbers is edits being counted as new comments.

Ooooh that makes sense. I’ve probably contributed to that, dealing with typos. Hope I haven’t been confusing anybody (else)…
