why the hatred?  Only on askubuntu is just about every question down-voted.  take this:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/977961/failed-to-start-dockerd-after-installing-docker-with-snap-artful-17-10

even when there is a comment, like "what is the environment", generally that's *in* the question.  There's nothing wrong with the question.

Blah.

It's unique to this specific stack overflow site.  Sure, I get down-voted questions -- maybe even more than my fair share.

My *perception* is that, at least recently, most every single question on askubuntu get's an initial downvote.  sometimes this is canceled out to a zero, and that's fine.  

(For what it's worth, the rep/score isn't my concern, it's more that a down-voted question will garner fewer responses -- presumably.)

It's possible that my perception is off.  It just *seems* that someone(s) following my questions and downvoting them.  hey, maybe I annoy them.  I dunno.  

If it's random and or deserved then so be it.  But I notice tha my questions on, particularly, linux stackoverflow, are better received.  Maybe I just ask better questions there.  But maybe not.

I would expect the standards to be about the same.
