MODERATORS
Controversial stuff of course, but people here seem less likely to take the context of the post or comment into consideration than they did on reddit. The instance or community something is posted in doesn’t seem to make a difference. On lemmy you get a ton of public gut reactions like you would on twitter. This is opposed to a forum-style where posts only face ‘real’ public scrutiny if they become popular in their respective communities to the point where they hit the front page. Perhaps with more users this effect will diminish, although if mastadon grows substantially our posts will be viewed by a large number of people twitter-style which would substantially impact interaction quality imo.
Most recently? Pointing out that the Soviet Union were serious contenders in the space race.
I cannot speak for my downvoters, but if one were to go by what people say, it boils down to my hypergraphia/vocabulary, my opinions/conclusions on certain topics, and often what seems like hate for me that spans multiple places and leaks over to wherever I am.

Misreading something. I have dyslexia and there have been times I misread a topic and then got super confused by the respond. Recently there was an article where Kamala Harris said to speed up Marijuana reclassification and my dyslexic brain read that as speed up research for marijuana. So I said that’s not how research works you can’t just speed it up and was so confused by everyone responding to me. Wasn’t til the next day I saw the post and read it properly. So usually my own foolishness.
no idea. never check.
Pretty much anything anti-American or pointing out hypocrisy of the West. And just like Reddit, it gets removed and silenced often. Or just downvoted to oblivion and then name calling.
Lemmy is very much like Reddit in the sense that it is "one of us... One of us.... One of us"
Well yeah... where did you think most of the community came from?

Just mention you're vegan in passing on social media (as in 'this is something I don't eat anymore as I became vegan', for example) is a fine way to have some mouthbreather slurping at you about bacon and down voting your posts.
