Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).
For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.
Wait really, it shows downvotes as upvotes? I believe that is wrong. It just doesn’t show downvotes.
I’ve seen heavily downvoted comments show up with like +3 scores or something, while on lemmy.world they show up as -54. And if you check on web it will show 57 down 3 up.
Weird, Lemmy is beta software and this was on another version to be honest. Regardless the implementation of it is broken. There is no algorithm here so is isn’t doing anything but burying comments. I’d prefer ratio amount of comments than drive by possibly bot down votes on this server I run for my IRL friends.
I think bigger picture I’m only going to participate in my own comms, ignore and immediately ban the kind of people that post on drama comms with all the context removed, mock people for being “crazy” and to be diminished and dismissed because I am a victim of American politics and not in support of their partisan bullshit and push back.
