      I pickup “downvote followers” from time to time because of what I say about .ml lol

      Sometimes I try to swipe left and accidentally upvote and downvote posts.

      Other times I’m holding my phone without locking it and accidentally click things.

      I’m guessing this happens to other people too.

          Sync has swipe to vote gestures and I mistakenly up/down vote a comment while scrolling. I fix the down votes but no idea what that does on the backend with lemmy.

          It’s not just this app, it happens to me all the time with different apps.

          It happens in email, mastodon, etc.

          It’s just that touch screens can be imprecise and sometimes downvotes are just people operating their phones without realizing it.
