    What? Random positive or neutral news gets vote bombed on Apple communities too.

    Lemmy is weird. It’s not uncommon to see relevant posts downvoted in a variety of communities.

    Here’s one about Edge getting faster from today. It feels like at the worst, it should sit at zero upvotes.

      I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.

      Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)

      A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don’t like.

      It’s just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.
