  Downvotes likely from non-Americans. Europeans specifically. They like to downvote stuff about America and Americans on Lemmy.

  Thanks for reminding me, I almost forgot to.

  If you mention (and especially if you complain about) downvotes, you’re gonna receive them from everybody. That’s just how it is. It’s fake internet points, they don’t matter.

    This is also very true. OP may have picked up a few “Hate Followers” too, I know I have picked up a few along my time on the internet. They just can’t be bothered to use the block feature, I guess. Or they think they are getting back at them.for some reason, which is pretty sad if someone thinks fake internet points matter that much.

    I remember when I used to have a Reddit account that had Hate Followers, I would make a post or comment that would almost always end in a high positive vote count, but in less than 60 seconds of posting it the vote count would be zero for like an hour before the vote count turned positive lol. Always had one or two comments from the same accounts that werent even related to whatever I was talking about. I used to get a good chuckle out of it.
