I'd guess most voting come from people browsing all communities. That's how I found your post.
Conservative
A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff
-
Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

We are a conservative forum. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
I did a quick scan and the more misleading and fear mongering posts are downvoted, the news type posts seem upvoted.
Maybe be specific in asking which posts you're concerned about getting down votes? Otherwise I'm going with my general answer here.
Because conservatism is a dog whistle for cartoon villainry.
Everything isn't downvoted. Sort this community by upvotes and you'll see there are a handful that are positive. You can do the same with the people who post here. Go to their history and sort by most positive. All of them have positive comments and posts.
It's the content that's being downvoted. Not the community or the users.
I downvote posts if they're idiotic.
Communities about idiotic ideologies tend to attract idiotic posts.
They hate you and want you to die.
