Just venting here. It’s a very low traffic community for a sports team, with announcements from that team’s own website posted to the community. And people have to come in and vote it down. 😐

    Likely what is happening is the post is getting to all and non sportsball people down vote it.

      Every post gets to all of every federated instance. That’s what all is. People are censoring the subscribed feeds of other users and Lemmy has no way of dealing with this problem.

        An algorithm has nothing to do with all.

        The thing is Lemmy is still small so lots of folks just browse All (or Local) and see stuff they don’t seek out and might not like.

    I just don’t get some people, making a post to complain about downvotes.

    Maybe post things people want to read?

    And yes, know that this has reached me, the community will be blocked, as will this user.

      They posted something that subscribers to the community would want to see and a bunch of other thought less people are try to make it less visible to the subscribers.

      Downvotes are meaningful to visibility.
