The downvotes are always strange to me. I see my share of posts get downvoted for no clear reason. Fox does make some people instinctively downvote, so maybe that's part of the reason.
I wish people would at least engage the comments to voice their opinions. And, if the UAP topic isn't something certain people want to see in their feeds then they should block the community instead of downvoting the posts. Lemmy is still small and when people downvote posts without discussing why then they're just going to stifle Lemmy's growth.
Yeah it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, does it? I don't know how the lemmy "algorithm" stuff works so not sure how any non-subscribers would see any of these posts. Does it ever get to all? Idk.
It could just depend on the day and the group of people who happen to be browsing and their mood, as opposed to the content. Who knows.
Lemmy definitely has some weird algorithms. These posts do hit All, but I'm not sure what dictates how they're listed in Hot or Active. I've had posts receiving downvotes within minutes of posting, so there seem to be a lot of people catching new posts.
Personally, I don't care about the voting of my posts. Though I hate the idea of posts getting buried just because people don't like the topic or source.
