I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.
You’d think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.
I know admins have long been able to see this data.
Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.
How do you all feel about this?
I’m sorry I haven’t been super active on Lemmy and missed much of the conversation around this. I’ll go find any relevant discussions too.
I know, was a big thing on lemmy.dbzer0.com but. I’d rather get rid of downvotes than have them be so public
I personally prefer them. They’re not perfect, but it’s better than having a facebook kind of experience.
Understandable
I don’t personally understand the purpose of downvotes. They seem to mostly gather on posts that should be removed by a moderator or on jokes that were misunderstood. Seems pointless.
Ive actually anyways liked the idea of having net votes
