    [email protected] got more activity last week, which is really cool!

    [email protected] had someone post a question and immidiately got plenty of answers. Awesome to see that.

    What I struggle a bit with is the consistent 2 downvotes and sometimes more on seemingly completely innocent posts? Because when a community is small this affects visibility in my understanding? The first votes are often the two downvotes.

    I had a theory that some app “hides” posts on downvote and guessed that people are scrolling “all” and downvoting as they go through the posts.

      You can use tesseract.dubvee.org/ to view downvotes. If someone downvotes all of your content without commenting, I would just ban them

        Thanks Blaze, I remember that votes are not actually anonymous in threadiverse but was too lazy to figure out a way to check them. I’ll check out tesseract and try to figure out whether these are random downvotes or is someone just being a dick.

        I honestly don’t care about downvotes but it does seem to affect visibility in some sorted feeds like “Hot” no?
