Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.
It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.


You should immediately block everyone who disagrees with you. Then all of your BS will be eternally enabled and you’ll never be wrong about anything.
Legitimately the reason I hesitated to block people I was reporting on reddit.
Lemmy’s public downvoting could be easily gamed.
I can’t imagine how any of these things could actually matter. Like… …ever.
Even a little bit.

I didn’t know what that is and will continue with that. Thanks though!
I envy your lack of imagination.
Let’s say 0.5% of users care enough about unreported bots to downvote or report them. If all information is public, you can quickly hide your bot comment or posts from that 0.5% and dodge being detected by the community.

Are you saying I should embrace the thing I fear to take away its power?
Or just just block folks who vocally disagree?
Yes, definitely that.

I just wish I knew why I keep hearing myself after I speak. So strange.
I totally agree.
