I know, public votes, that’s how Lemmy and the Fediverse work.

It bothers me a little though.

    There are or were some mods of communities/admins of instances (not sure which they were, probably admins can only see that) who have taken action against users who downvote in their communities. I’ve seen both situations of mods taking action on users who downvote every post in a community and also against users who downvote once in their community. Say that to say, some mods/admins will take action over downvotes.

      I mean it makes sense to block accounts when mass-downvoting of every post in a community happens. But apart from that scenario it is very dumb.
