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?

Once you know the accounts doing it, you can block them so they can't interact with your posts anymore.
Wait, does that mean that they can’t downvote the articles I post, or just that I personally wouldn’t see them?
The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.
Ahhh, ok. That’s what I thought, but I was kinda hoping for a different answer. Thank you!
