I woke up today, to a public comment in a Lemmy community asking a series of tagged accounts why they had downvoted certain posts
I thought that reactions to posts and comments are anonymous and now I don’t really know what to feel about Lemmy any more.
In this case I had downvoted a poster because of its design, but was confronted publicly for being racist because the person assumed that I downvoted the message on the poster
EDIT: changed the title from “How” to “Why” because it broke rule nr 5 about it being a support question
I would like if vote counts weren’t shown until after you voted, so it doesn’t influence your opinion
You can vote and change your vote. It would be a useless feature.
The “Reddit” way is to allow votes to be hidden for some length of time (often a few hours, but I think up to 1 day).
