Right now I see mass-downvoting of content in groups, downvotes who seem to come from people who clearly aren’t apart of the group. This means, not only are they downvoting it from the public home-timeline, but they are downvoting content so that people within the group are less likely to see the content they have joined to see.

(I’m not getting into how the whole context of this and why or who’s downvoting for example me. Don’t need the drama)

But this makes so that people have to go into the group specifically to see content they want, or have to go far down into the sub timeline to find stuff after a day.

This makes the sub timeline pretty useless.

(I am also experiencing targeting downvoting on every post I’ve ever made. Functionally making my posts less visible on Lemmy regardless of what community)

Edit:

I’ve also found this in comments. Downvoting that only makes sense for people outside the group.

    I disagree with you a lot, but one thing I can assure you I am not a participant of your community, or bother with downvoting every post.

    I might only downvote when the news puts me off too much due to bias or such concerns, and that would only be the case if I saw the news in my global feed.
