    That is absolutely not how Lemmy works. Downvoting has no effect whatsoever.

    I assume you’re talking about the ‘active’ and ‘hot’ sorting?

    From the Lemmy docs:

    • Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).
    • Hot uses the post votes, and the post published time.

    You’d also notice this if you use Lemmy for any length of time lmao

      You know what’s weird? What’s weird is that, despite your claim that people aren’t having discussions with people who get downvoted, my reply to you was part of a huge amount of discussion with someone who was downvoted. And that is true of multiple other discussions in this post.

      Is this post special? Is it the exception?

        I am the exception because I keep the less visibility thing in mind

          That does not explain why this post contradicts your claim multiple times, but your massive ego is noted.
