It's funny how much worse Lemmy is at downvoting simple questions than Reddit. People on here treat every question as if it was asked with bad intentions.
I'm not sure, but I think part of the problem is that the votes are "real". Since every instance has to have the same number of up/down votes they can't get away with fudging the numbers. I have no hard evidence that reddit does, but I suspect they do to increase engagement.
