Now, most of my recent comments have at least three downvotes, despite being on different posts and regardless of whether they’re controversial. If you scroll further, all the comments have at least two downvotes, then at least one downvote, and only my oldest comments don’t have this pattern. I’m sure this happened somewhere in the last two hours, because I didn’t see it when I checked it earlier. What happened? Did three people dislike me so much at the same time that they downvoted every comment on my profile that they could scroll to?
A week ago I removed the vote scores entirely, it is surprising how much it changes the entire experience. On one side I gradually stopped worrying about how my comments are doing, and for other I found myself paying more attention to what I read once I don’t know what other people think.
