Preface: Love this instance, happy to be here and this isnt a complaint just an observation.
OK so I mod a few communities across several instances, big and small. 3 on this very instance, I have noticed a pattern that posts on this instance tend to get a consistent early downvote count.
This might be my bad observations or the type of posts I see so I’d love to hear if anyone else has noticed the same.
My only fear is how it affects either on the scaled algorithm or how people’s view is biased seeing a controversial post.
Once a post or comment gets to -2, it’s doomed.
