What's with the downvotes? (lemmygrad.ml)

I can fully understand when me or someone else gets downvotes for saying something controversial or silly (yeah, it happens, I admit), but why would anyone come here and spend time downvoting things that perfectly align with the political climate here?

Are we that popular that we are being displayed in other instances so often? Do we have lurkers who only pretend to be communists? And in that case - Jesus, I thought that I am wasting my time sometimes... 😆

The fact that the first thing I received was a downvote is a comedy gold.

The only problem with the upvote/downvote thing is when a post gets brigaded by libs and all the nonsense they spew gets upvoted while corrections get downvoted. They take this mob mentality as "proof" they don't need to listen to the "obviously wrong downvoted tankie" so they don't learn anything or challenge their preconceived notions.

So the worst thing that could happen is something who has no idea what they are talking about doesn't ever stop to think if they are actually wrong. Their loss basically.
