This effect is partially muted by the fact that one can only see the vote status of one’s own post. There is still a tendency toward conformity, but at least the suggestion to vote with other readers isn’t apparent like it is on many content aggregators/discussion media.

Yeah but I can predict pretty accurately which of my posts will get downvoted and they all have the same thing in common; they challenge the left-leaning groupthink common here.
Some might claim they get downvoted because they are "low quality" to which I'd retort why spend a lot of time crafting a "quality" reply when you know it's going to be suppressed?

While it might just be me, I find myself downvoting your comments purely because I find them low-quality noise (or worse) that I'd rather not see more of.
I even tagged you as 'shitty commenter', which I don't do this too often. But with some commenters I'm just amazed at how they can consistently keep this up without tiring of it.
