It's Lemmy. Someone always downvotes every post.

[–] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

And little known fact, being Lemmy, you can actually see who downvoted what. I won't list the URL here because of at least an attempt at privacy, but you can just check any post or comment for the exact user who downvoted it.

It's not just one URL that let's you view it. Any admin can of any instance. That's how the service to view votes works. They spun up an instance and made it accessible for anyone.

Sure. But I don't expect every user to spin a private instance to see it. I do expect users to be able to load one simple URL.
