Lemmy.world has a lot of users and more users means more downvotes. It also happens to have a lot of news and political communities which attracts a lot of strong opinions.
Personally, I find the only function of downvotes is to discourage contributing and discourse, and that seems antithetical to what this platform is supposed to be about.
