  I don’t mind that much because downvotes are meaningless. moreso worried about server strain if any.

  Hey,

  I did some research on this.

  I will not share the list of accounts as I feel its everyone right to vote and to have their own opinions whether they align with yours or not.

  I will however say, Its mostly the same accounts that are down voting you. The majority of the accounts are over 2 months old with content generated by them (they do not seem like bot account). There are a few that are just 10 days old. 99% of the down votes are from other instances with feddit.uk and feddit.nl being the primary source of them.

    You sure they’re not bots? I’ve posted at different hours of the day, and in old threads, the amount is always the same.

      The idea of goat hating robots is frightening.

  I have noticed all of the posts of yours that I see always have a negative score when they are fresh. Almost like you live rent free in the head of an unstable person.
