    I’m not an expert in phycology so I can’t answer your question. Sorry.

        Ah. That I can answer. Making posts on Lemmy being salty about downvotes begets more downvotes, almost guaranteed. Hope this helps.

          This behaviour is also common to Reddit.

          The more time I spend here on Lemmy, the more Lemmy has the exact same issues I hoped it wouldn’t have from Reddit.

            Absolutely. Some aspects are unavoidable, being an anonymous thread based forum, so trolling, flamebaiting, brigading and the like happen here just like Reddit.

            Luckily on Lemmy we do have workarounds to some of these issues. You can join instances that disable downvotes for people who are bothered by it. Federated, publicly visible moderation has its ups and downs but at least you have all the information and you can decide to move to an instance where you fit in better.

          I have looked up “encabulate” in the dictionary and it doesn’t exist… 🤨 Your response is funny now, In hindsight …

            You’ve never heard of Chrysler’s best invention, the Turbo Encabulator? It is essential to the maintenance and operation of Chrysler products.
