Ultimately, it’s supposed to be used to make post/comments less visible, for whatever reason.
Sick burn and true, we have so few comments that we read all of them anyway.
Sometimes it seems like Lemmy users sort by most negative first just so they can keep dogpiling on the comments with negative vote score.
Which is a Reddit behaviour, and probably came from whatever existed before Reddit too.
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
That’s it.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Let everyone have their own content.
