Edit: k, idk why you downvoted me, was trying to show you another sub with an audience directly for this question that you may want to also ask, but k go ahead and downvote me OP.

Didn’t downvote you but it’s probably bc Reddit’s original childfree subreddit is a special kind of toxic hellhole; even for Reddit… which is saying something.

Most of Reddit was a toxic hellhole. It's why I'm not on Reddit anymore.

It seems like in almost every thread, there are at least one or two cranky individuals that just downvote for the hell of it.

Downvotes on lemmy are pure spam. Good instances block them.

I regularly down vote things. I up vote a lot more than that, though. I'm sure the ratio is at least 3:1 or higher for up to down.

Are my down votes spam?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes in my opinion which is why they’re turned off on the instance I use.
