I’m the same! If the comment contains the word downvote in it, it’s a DV. I even downvote my own haha! It’s a silly little reminder to myself how little they matter
No, i’m one of the 6 (current) downvotes 8 people upped it. Not that it matters but aren’t upvote histories available? If you really want to see can’t you actually check on lemmy? I’ve heard about this but never tried
Oh I’ll disappear! Although it’s usually from.my attention wandering. 🤪
The weird thing is, my “view votes” on that post is showing an upvote.
Most be some kind of federation issue - if I had to guess, you get an automatic upvote when you post (which federates) but if you then change it, this may not.
That’s interesting to know. I wonder how that works? That kinda throws off the whole upvote history thing, at least for someone’s own posts. Is that page you’re linking a mod only thing or can anyone access it?
Communities trying to have alternate meanings for upvotes/downvotes must keep in mind that people scrolling posts across communities won’t generally notice the community and if they do they won’t read the rules and will vote however they want. Trying to force them to follow some silly community specific process is tilting at windmills and bitching about it is embarrassing.
A lot of those are joke downvotes, well mine was.
I downvote anyone complaining about downvote out of principle.
I first upvote it, so more people see it and it gets more downvotes, then i revisit later and downvote, which then decreases by 2.
Found Satan.

You haven’t on this post.
Is that link to this thread? It keeps taking me back here.
I don’t know what to tell ya, but you’re wrong fella.
Are you the type who apologizes when they are proven wrong or disappears?

I’ll also down vote anyone using up votes as some kind of metric for their post/comment being inherently right/good
Mine wasn’t.
