Comment on no downvoting for specific communities?

  I’m not sure if instance matters, but yeah they can see how people vote in their sub and if they’re subscribed. It’s not like they can see anything outside of their subs tho.

  That being said I got asked to mod a sub and it didn’t exactly come with a handbook. I’ve just never put any effort into finding out how to do that stuff because it seems incredibly pointless.

  Lemmy is small enough that a shit ton of people browse by all.

    Mods can’t, only admins can see votes

      Then how are those two subs that banned OP for down voting able to see he was down voting to ban him?

      Like…

      There’s blatant evidence that yes, they can see that…

      And your response is “nuh huh” and you expect that to matter?

      Hell, I had one mod DM to “let me know” he could see I down voted his comments and to remind me that down votes aren’t for disagreeing.

      I just blocked them, and that’s anecdotal. But look at the mod logs for either of those subs, they do it fairly often, and I’m sure others do as well.

      You’re just wrong man, let it go, no one cares.

        The mod was either also an admin or asked an admin. You can even see it in the ban reasons from OP. The most recent ban mentions that a site admin is responsible for the ban.

      True. The only way a mod can see votes is if they’re also an admin
