Theres a queue that is part of different instances. What can happen is posts/comments get backed up and the queue takes them all in. When an outage or slowdown happens it can bog down certain servers. Threadiverse (piefes/lemmy/mbin/etc…) up/down votes, comments, posts, etc… it gets slower as more instances connect to others. Its unfortunate but its part of the fediverse protocol. Piefed has some advances there, but it can still get bogged down sometimes.

I would probably agree with this being the issue, if it wasn't so consistent except when I post out of the norm, I didn't have a run in with a rogue mod deleting my posts days later, and them seeming to have a shit ton of money when the exodus happened like a corp would have. You may, but most of us don't know who is behind the curtain for that instance.

With the way it's happening, it can't be explained when you really look at the nuances. It's more like a bug that any of my posts get upvotes. Again, I don't care about upvotes. This is extremely apparent because I've posted for years with only 8 upvotes for most of my posts.
