Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.
It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.
I can’t imagine how any of these things could actually matter. Like… …ever.
Even a little bit.
Ask rimu or 002
Ok who’s 002? As you can see from my instance, you probably can guess I know who rimu is.
That extremely personality disordered person with one or several accounts on multiple instances that is mostly a repost bot, claiming none of it is scripted, which is an obvious untruth.
I didn’t know what that is and will continue with that. Thanks though!
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.
How do you hide from those 0.5%? Blocking someone stops you seeing them, it doesn’t stop them seeing you?
Oh, that’s how it works on reddit–you don’t see them, they don’t see you.
Blocking is one-way on lemmy?
Yes, to the complaint of many but that’s how it currently works.
There’s no good solution.
Now I can follow around people who blocked me and subtly accuse them of all sorts of awul things and they won’t see it.
