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.


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.
Ask rimu or 002
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.
