      Because how is this uplifting? It’s in the wrong community and should be actually be removed.

        And little known fact, being Lemmy, you can actually see who downvoted what. I won’t list the URL here because of at least an attempt at privacy, but you can just check any post or comment for the exact user who downvoted it.

          It’s not just one URL that let’s you view it. Any admin can of any instance. That’s how the service to view votes works. They spun up an instance and made it accessible for anyone.

            Sure. But I don’t expect every user to spin a private instance to see it. I do expect users to be able to load one simple URL.

              Yeah, me neither. I’m just clarifying that it’s not like it’s only available in one place. It’s a feature of Lemmy that votes are public. I want to make sure everyone knows that. It’s not just one rogue place that made it public. It’s just how Lemmy functions.

          But really, who cares what the downvoting losers think. They’ll follow you around and tag you regardless.

          Edit: lol yeah I asked for that :-P
