Was recently banned from a whole bunch of DB0 communities for, as best as I can gather, downvoting once when I viewed by All.
Important notes:
- I don’t use scripts.
- I don’t mass-downvote Communities. If I see a post I generally don’t like when browsing All, I may downvote one post, block the Community and move on.
- Some of the communities I was banned from don’t have any posts in them so I wouldn’t have been able to downvote anything.
- Of all of these Communities, in my history I downvoted one post in one of them. Voting in this manner is not vote manipulation. It’s quite literally a feature of the platform and as a mod of another Community, I would consider it pretty good etiquette.
- One of my bans reads “Appeal Granted, not a brigading member” but I’m still banned.
- I don’t troll.
WTF is going on here?
Mastodon shows you the votes just by clicking and seeing who liked the thing. No admin access necessary.
This is one among a few different reasons why hoping for votes to be private on Lemmy is a lost cause.
Is that a fork? Or just the newest update? The instance I run doesn’t have that.
What? Sure it does. Upvote a comment from Lemmy, then go to Mastodon and look at the same comment, and you’ll see a “like” from the Lemmy user that upvoted it. Right?
