When I was on Reddit I felt like my opinion didn’t matter. But here it just feels more open and free.

    Votes have a bandwagon effect, both up and down votes. Sometimes it just felt like arguing with an army of mute downvoting zombies; no reply, just downvotes. I completely understand some communities on Lemmy disabling downvotes, even if that means there is no mora a “controversial” vote.

    My only fear is that as Lemmy gets bigger, the same botting, brigading and mindless bandwagoning, will also come here.
