I’m not sure “downvote” should be included in Opt-out. Some instances allow a poster to see exactly who downvoted them. If someone is saying something obnoxious or repulsive enough to consider reporting, there’s a good chance they’re doing it on purpose. I don’t need to be on their trolling shit list.
Source or example? 😧 This is new to me.
Encouraging downvotes was a suggestion from the mods, but I will take this into account.
kbin is the first to come to mind.
Look at any post or comment that has downvotes. Click “more”, choose “activity”, then click “reduces”.
Edit: I replied before seeing that others already had. Whoops!
Ooh thanks for the step by step. I was able to identify the one kbin user who downvoted me over the past 24 hours. 😜
Yeah, given this I won’t recommend that kbin users downvote just anything since the platform doesn’t protect their privacy. Lemmy users should be good tho. Thanks! 😊
It's not so cut and dry with Lemmy either. Admins can still view it (though not as easily).
