Did anyone else here noticed?

No matter the subject or your opinion, there’s always people down voting you.

I don’t care about up/down votes but we can’t deny that’s a way to know the acceptance of your thoughts by the community.

I tried to make some posts absolute neutral, just asking simple things to see if people discuss and interact which each other and me, I just got down voted out of nowhere.

Right now I’m seeing the karma count fighting going up and down, some people just down vote out of nowhere without any possible logic explanation.

Did anyone figure out what’s up with those people?

Discussing on Reddit feels like a fight to know who has the best opinion of all, you just aren’t allowed to think different or they’ll down vote you to hell.

    I mean Lemmy isn’t very open to alternative opinion either, but most people here are even more similar that we don’t notice

      Very much this. There are some views that are so pervasive here that people don’t realize that alternative views are even possible, that anyone who says otherwise must be faking or trolling in some manner.

      I said something wrong about anarchism once here on Lemmy and an extremely friendly user took quite a lot of time to help me educate myself, clarifying my mistake, recommending reading material and engaging me in frank and friendly conversation about the topic.

      On Reddit, I’d either have been upvoted to the sky by people as ignorant as me (or more) or get called a bunch of slurs and told to go fuck myself.

      Well by my own experience I had discussions here that my opinion were pretty controversial, but I didn’t see anyone whining to me, they just told me they disagree and that was all.

      It’s not rule but compared to Reddit it feels another universe.

      That’s why I think Reddit shouldn’t migrate to here.

        There are a lot of great communities on Reddit still. Lemmy users are a self-selected bunch, and one of the things we self-select for is intolerance to the toxicity common on mainstream social media platforms, including Reddit. So we’re safe from a lot of the problems that larger subreddits have to deal with. But there are some excellent niche communities there that would fit in very nicely with the Fediverse.
