One of my most hated things in the dying days of Reddit is people having to put the /s because of all the mass down voting from users that didn't get a post was a joke.

When I came here it seemed that wasn't the case but I've noticed over the last month a lot of users using it or having -28 points for an off the cuff comment.

I might be just be a bit too bothered by the need to use it.

I'm not liking the voting system so far on lemmy. I've seen too many comments downvoted just because people disagree with the poster's opinion and not because they are trolling or off topic.

I've see it happen on reddit of course but it seems more prevalent here in the short time I've been using it.
