It's Redhat employees downvoting from their desks. You can get systemd criticism in on HN on major US holidays when they're off with their families.

I noticed that. Amazing.

I'm replying to myself because the original comment I was replying to was flagged, as it mentioned RH employees down votings.

Its the little things isnt it.

This is interesting and lines up with the time zone offset on my last rant a couple of years back. Peak in upvotes UK afternoon followed by downvote pummelling at around 4pm UK time. Without wishing to don the tinfoil hat too much, actively squashing critical discussion on your product is a dick move if it's true.

This has got so bad on some parts of reddit they removed the voting buttons.
