Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4967

I say yes!!

I have a particular set of people that actually follow me from community to community, just to downvote what I say and the articles I post. All because I posted an article about the Green Party to the c/politics sub. lol

So if you are determined enough to do that, then ya shouldn’t be upset that people can see what you’re doing.

Yeah, but then what?

So you have confirmed that you have a fan club that likes to downvote you. What would you even do with this info?

Well I’d call them out on it and ask why they feel the need to do that.

Maybe, just maybe, if they know people could see how obsessive they are, it would take the fun out of the stalking.

I mean, at the end of the day, I don’t care THAT much one way or the other. I just think it would be funny to give them a shoutout and welcome them to another round of downvoting.

I posted an article about a ninety-year-old woman being the oldest person to graduate from Illinois University. 9 downvotes within one minute of posting it. lmao

Right now they are laughing and rubbing their hands together when I post something, just so they can downvote it. Which is funny and sad. Like am I really that important?! lol

So public or not public, I don’t care, but we can vote for, I’d say yes.

But I won’t cry if Lemmy doesn’t make the votes public. And I doubt there will be many Lemmy users that want their votes public, so I don’t think it’s gonna happen.
