When I came here from reddit (a while back), I was treated to downvotes for innocuous stuff. Eventually I challenged a tankie or two, so those I'll own.

I think this is people being people. And reflexive reasoning turning into downvotes.

I did research. May or may not be relevant.

Yeah people will downvote random shit for no reason.

They often downvote because they don't agree/can't be fucked/don't relate rather than upvoting the content/effort or just moving on. It's kinda dumb, but people are like that.

If it's not what they think should be in the community threads, downvotes will happen even on useful stuff (sometimes).
