I’ve seen threads where every single comment, no matter how anodyne, has 1 downvote. Don’t bother yourself over it. That way lies madness.

That sounds like a misusage of a very common word in French: anodin

I’d say a good 10% of English is just misusing words from other languages to be fair.

It’s also really easy to mis-swipe on a comment on some apps.

I always figure it’s someone whose life has become so pathetic, they bitterly downvote every single comment to try feel some control. And as a result, they feel like the Phantom of the Socials. Alone, but the true master of the place.

Everyone must wonder, ‘Who keeps downvoting us?’ It is I! The true Master of Lemmy and- No, mother!.. Yes, mother!.. I tried but nobody wants to talk to me!.. I don’t want to!.. Yeah, she’s cute!.. I don’t want you to do that!.. Mother put the phone down!”

LOL, I can picture this person. They probably have a gross-looking bandaid on their downvote finger.
