I think >50% of my up votes are me swiping right to go back but missing the screen border by a tiny bit, causing the jerboa swipe to vote to kick in.
so who knows, maybe they just accidentally hit the downvote arrow while scrolling?
Sometimes my big finger hit the wrong button.
Yeah, accidental voting happens to me when I'm using my phone. Kind of inevitable unless someone uses an app where voting is done through pulling left or right as opposed to tapping.
Do comments around here get disappeared or hidden if they get enough downvotes? If not, then I could give two fucks whether a comment gets 1 downvote or 100.
Nope makes no difference.
