Ever since the last update ive started seeing down votes on hexbear posts where previously there were none.

Idk if this is affecting post scores for people on hexbear or not I just thought I'd point it out in case y'all haven't noticed.

We should turn downvotes into upvotes. Let the hatred become our power!

No, your posts about Ogre Tactics are too good to call you cringe.

For now.

i have seen downvotes posts before the update, most hexbear posts seem not attract people from others intances that downvote but the ones that get big sometimes do like the megathreads

downvotes from other instances dont affect hexbear posts last i remember

Well before if I would down vote a hexbear post and refresh the down vote would go away. Now they stick around

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will never visit from a different instance

Downvotes from libs is like a badge of honor for every communist poster. I like being downvoted.

I'm fairly certain I saw downvotes on hexbear posts way before. I think they are local to your instance, and not federatd though. If people on lemmy.ml downvote hexbear posts lemmy.ml saves that, maybe even tells hexbear about it but hexbear doesn't care. And other instances get their data from hexbear so they won't see those downvotes, only the ones local to them.

I think that's always been the case though. I remember seeing them from lemmygrad before the patch.
