    I don’t like linux, should I downvote all linux stuff? Does that make the fediverse better?

      Sure, go for it. I literally do not care how people use single accounts to vote on any topic.

      When they use multiple accounts, yeah that is clearly terrible because they are artificially inflating their votes.

        Weird thread to be commenting on if you literally don’t care but you do you!

        I personally think this sort of stuff helps keep the fediverse from being awesome but you do you!

          I care about voting freely, not the actual vote results.

          I upvote a shit ton of stuff which makes it more visible. That helps the fediverse. The shitty posts and comments that I downvote are what I see keeping the fediverse from being awesome.

            Except, and I’m stunned this is a surprise to some but here we are, not everyone agrees on what’s awesome and what’s shitty.

            So, in OP’s case, the people who come here to talk about the nintendo games and then decide to take the plunge and post something are met with downvotes for having the audacity to post in a harmless community that others don’t like.

            It’s lame and makes the fediverse less fun for folks, which is poison for somewhere that depends on network effects.
