It would appear that people hate criticism of Apple on this platform, based off of the downvotes. I am slightly surprised at that tbh. And I additionally beleive that just makes the point in the video about Apples "holier than thou" mentality more evidently true.
Folks, they are just another Corpo, please stop simping for them because they promised you the world. It's all just sweet nothings and the evidence consistantly shows that.
What? Random positive or neutral news gets vote bombed on Apple communities too.
Lemmy is weird. It’s not uncommon to see relevant posts downvoted in a variety of communities.
Here’s one about Edge getting faster from today. It feels like at the worst, it should sit at zero upvotes.

Sure, but the WAN show kinda sucks, it's basically Linus spewing some nonsense and Luke trying to keep him somewhat rational.
It’s often a place for Linus to rant about how he understands business better than his audience.

Yeah, and that's largely what soured me on it. I watched a few, and it basically seemed like a "I know better" type "discussion" instead of an actual discussion about pros/cons to certain things.

I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.
Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)
A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don't like.
It's just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.

Maybe it's the video format, presenter, or the fact that nobody ever thought one is better than the other so it's not even interesting info.

I didn't know Lemmy had so many Apple fans.

My guess is the downvotes are for Linus' face.
LTT unfortunately has gone the way of easy engagement via ragebait and low hanging fruit. I don't blame them - they have a lot of staff and lovely people to keep employed... but they aren't the scrappy diy because why not guys they were back before Linus media. It was the right business choice ... but a lot of us just can't stomach the change. It's like a good friend gone alcoholic.

Sure, then the post just doesn't need any upvotes, imo.
I find mass down votes on such things to be toxic behavior. Tech savvy or not. I mean, it’s basically toxic nerd behavior.
And that was just an example on hand. I’ve seen it in other communities too, again, when the news was positive or neutral and fit the community even better than talking about a single web browser in a general tech community.
I should add that this phenomenon overlaps with another, where a post will get a bunch of downvotes initially, and then “recover” or get back past zero. Many of these seem to be related to brigading or malicious bot activity. So, many of the examples I’ve run across end up being something else.
Just for context, I usually browse Lemmy All and my Home feed with the Active/hot in the last 6 hours view. So I see lots of young posts, relatively speaking.
