This is only true if you consider popularity to be the end-all determinant of quality content. Plenty of shit gets downvoted solely because people disagree with it.
The reddit design is that popularity is the end all determinant of quality content. If you didnt want that, you shouldnt be using a reddit clone.
Thats why there are subreddits, that you can make whenever you like. So you can make a little pocket for the people who agree with your content.
Obviously things get downvoted because people disagree with it, that is how it was designed to work. That is the function of this type of social media. The quality is inherently tied to if it is something the community agrees with.
This complaint makes genuinely no sense. People upvote things they agree with, and downvote what they dont. Acting like thats some big shock is insane. Acting like thats some evil hidden use of downvotes means you dont understand the website youre posting on.
Yeah, because things like the formatting of content and general site navigation are entirely irrelevant.
Lemmy is a federated reddit clone dude, its not just the front page format
I know what lemmy is you dumbass.
Do you? Because your comment about formatting implies you dont.
If all I like about a car is its color and the seat upholstery I dont go and copy its engine.
Yeah, fuck off you stupid rat
Yeah, I see why you dont like downvotes
