This is not Reddit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Arelin@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) That is absolutely not how Lemmy works. Downvoting has no effect whatsoever. I assume you're talking about the 'active' and 'hot' sorting? From the Lemmy docs: Active uses the post votes, and latest comment time (limited to two days).

However, for us mere mortals, can you not see how a dogpile of downvotes from the local majority opinion might dissuade some individuals from wanting to engage in discussion? permalink fedilink source parent
