it's not about anger, the point of downvoting is to put low effort or other random crap comments below any others that may actually contribute to the topic.
That doesn't work for me on Lemmy because in the app I use it doesn't sort comments that way. So I see the comments basically newest first. This is reddit behavior is what it is.
if that was the intended layout of lemmy comments they wouldn’t have vote buttons at all.
Lemmy is meant to be a direct alternative to reddit and it copies plenty of design and user elements from there that don't necessarily fit with the overall user use case here. There are whole instances without downvote buttons for example. This is an over-arcing statement that lumps together a bunch of instances and user bases that don't necessarily comply with such a notion.
...
well this is not one of those instances.
