Who are these people who upvote posts but never comments, top comment right now has 21 score and the post has 212, thats such an abusrd ratio, is it just a hexbear thing that this is surprising to me?
I think it kind of is. Hexbear folks love to post and engage more directly with each other based on what I've seen while a lot of people (myself for included) clearly take a much more passive approach and just up vote and move on. My excuse is generally I usually only come on here when bored and have nothing else to fill my time with and I find commenting to be personally kind of exhausting now days.
Last time I saw any research about it down votes make people angry with eacother and fight. Which is good for Engagement if you want ad money. Bad for the culture though

I think downvotes produce participation anxiety and Hexbear not only doesn't have them but also promotes a not-giving-a-fuck mentality to posting.

Thats fair enough, thanks for your perspective!
turns out not having downvotes is good for our culture
