Seriously, almost all the posts are just doom scrolling. And yes, I'm aware of the irony (lemmy.world)

You respond to negativity by downvoting everything negative?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yes.

Downvoting isn't "negativity", it's a method for users to define what does and does not contribute to the content of the platform. By downvoting this content, I'm voicing my opinion that negativity is overrepresented on Lemmy, and encouraging (however slightly) more positive content to be posted.

That’s the ideal. In reality, it is 98% of the time a disagree button and that is how everyone perceives it.

I completely agree that what you’re doing should be how it is, but sadly that’s just not reality.
