Is there a change in Lemmy voting culture? (literature.cafe)

I feel like non political posts are controversial more often now than they were before. Ive seen it on some communities I visit often.

Maybe I'm seeing smth that isn't there.

Maybe its to do with more reddit migrations who aren't as accusatomed to Lemmy?

Has anyone else noticed it?

It does feel like there's a new wave of change, I have no idea if it's due to new reddit refugees or general discontent. But yes, there does seem to be a lot more down voting, more quarrelsome comments, less cohesion within some communities.

There's also been a few posts sprinkled across instances discussing some accounts that do nothing but down vote. No comments, no posts, just down votes

I'm noticing a lot of those too!
