MuddybulldogYSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private
MonkeyhogGood. If I downvote something its for a reason, and I don’t care who knows.
DrQuintIn fact, I’m tempted to say I WANT people to know I’m not the one downvoting them when I disagree.
MaySAME its happened on Reddit where I would have a back and forth w someone where we disagreed but it was respectful, and then in the middle of it I'd notice the other person's comments being -1 even new ones. Meaning someone who isnt in the convo would start downvoting the other person, and I'd be like 'what if they think I did it? What if that damages a mutual understanding they were close to reaching? What if that turns them off from considering a different point of view bc they assume I'm doing it and that I'm hostile?' Then sometimes I'd be like "sorry someone is downvoting you its not me"
