  What? That people browse by /all and downvote everything they don’t like? You can bet that this is standard practice. I’ve argued with a good number of people who treat the /all feed just as a regular feed and feel completely justified in downvoting anything they don’t personally like.

  Take a look at these and tell me if these people are down voting because they are interested in the community or they are just trying to bury posts they don’t like:

    There is no evidence for algorithm-based voting and those are mostly controversial posts which discuss the very acceptance of LLMs into a program, ie there is no guarantee that they belong into the respective community.

      I didn’t say “algorithm-based” voting. I said “people vote on anything they don’t like, as if they would be training some algorithm”.

      there is no guarantee that they belong into the respective community.

      The posts are about Emacs packages for using “AI agents” posted on the Emacs. People are downvoting them only because “AI is bad”, not because they particularly care about Emacs or the package at hand. It’s an idiotic, self-righteous reason to downvote an article and it clearly shows that the people doing it have no relation to the communities where they are being posted.
