    The fediverse and lemmy in particular is a series of echo chambers.

    lemmy.world in particular has a very homogeneous user base.

    The “unpopular” part of this opinion is that on a variety of topics, any opinions which do not conform are heavily downvoted.

      It’s kinda nice to be part of a no-downvote instance, I know other instances keep track of my stats but I don’t care, I don’t see it.

        I thought only some of the apps / clients keep track of the stats.

        Piefed shows the percentage of your last 100 votes which are upvotes, on profile pages. Yours is 100% obviously because you can’t downvote.

        aggregators like lemmy / reddit need votes to determine what content is most pertinent.
