Upvoting a factually incorrect comment because it sounds nice, and downvoting a factually correct comment because it sounds bad.

A circlejerk community where facts are thrown out the window. Doesnt matter where its hosted, social media just going to keep doing what its doing.

It seems like there is at least one down vote for every comment that gets enough attention for a few upvotes. I assume there is someone here who just really likes downvoting.

That and, at least on Memmy mobile, you swipe right to upvote and swipe slightly further right to down vote. Also upvote color is orange and downvote color is blue, which is counter intuitive to me personally. So if I get a few downvotes on a comment I think is awesome, I just figure it was an accident and someone was trying to upvote me. Because I'm awesome and who would down vote me?

ETA: See?! 👇 Thanks for the attempted upvote, kind stranger!

Ugh the swiping... I need to find a different web app cause Voyager is so buggy about how far I need to swipe to do anything and I'm apparently not pixel perfect enough for it.
