I came from Reddit where they definitely did matter. They don’t seem to hold any real weight here. Is this true for some or all instances? If they don’t matter, what are they for?

There are also some sensitive users who just go thru and downvote everything a poster posts, just because they have a personal grudge with poster.
Plenty of people on Lemmy agree that serial downvoters being banned from a community isn’t a bad thing.
If one doesn’t like a community, they can always just block it, rather than make it a mission to downvote every single thing in that community. IMHO, some people take lemmy way too seriously and get kinda unhealthy about it.
Like anything, a system can be used for good or used for bad.
Everyone please disregard DonaldJMusk, he forgets what account he’s signed in to. The old man thinks I’m out to get him like he’s not mocking me in his profile or anything. This is his sock puppet, one of many keeping the conservative comms astroturfed. Just look how soft he is, watching my voting habits in communities he doesn’t even run. He’ll probably post my vote history off lemvotes.org like I’m somehow denying downvoting this asshole, but I’m getting ahead of myself.
Go ahead Donny, tell the world my sins.
What are you talking about? Was that reply meant for someone else? I didn’t bring anything up about donald trump or astroturing. I saw a discussion and posted a comment about up/down votes. Not sure what you are talking about.
I always thought his “tickle the quantum machine” was some right wing dog whistle.
I sent you a DM. Let’s compare notes.
