Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments?

  Legitimately the reason I hesitated to block people I was reporting on reddit.

  Lemmy’s public downvoting could be easily gamed.

    I can’t imagine how any of these things could actually matter. Like… …ever.

    Even a little bit.

      I envy your lack of imagination.

      Let’s say 0.5% of users care enough about unreported bots to downvote or report them. If all information is public, you can quickly hide your bot comment or posts from that 0.5% and dodge being detected by the community.

        I didn’t know what that is and will continue with that. Thanks though!

  Are you saying I should embrace the thing I fear to take away its power?

  Or just just block folks who vocally disagree?

    Yes, definitely that.

        I just wish I knew why I keep hearing myself after I speak. So strange.

    You should take an active effort to read the intelligent comments of people who disagree with you. I don't know how you hand downvotes and blocking and so I can't tell if this is a comment that is directly at you to change your ways or if you already are doing this and you are only downvoting/blocking obvious garbage. Too many people, when they see a point of view they disagree with, assume immediately that the other person is stupid and that common is garbage. But that is false. It is, however, a very hard bias to overcome in yourself. Something I struggle with, too.
