"Your downvote was reported."
(lemmy.world)
I know, public votes, that's how Lemmy and the Fediverse work.
It bothers me a little though.
edit: this post is gaining traction, I censored the user's name as it's unimportant and better to avoid possible harassment
Bit confused, what would they even do with a report of downvote? Doesn’t make sense.
Plus don’t even understand why someone cares so much about downvoting that they would message you and report it. The upvote/ downvote means seriously nothing. It’s “thin air”.
Put down your device and it has no impact on your live. Continue using Lemmy and it will have no impact on how you use Lemmy.
There are or were some mods of communities/admins of instances (not sure which they were, probably admins can only see that) who have taken action against users who downvote in their communities. I’ve seen both situations of mods taking action on users who downvote every post in a community and also against users who downvote once in their community. Say that to say, some mods/admins will take action over downvotes.
I mean it makes sense to block accounts when mass-downvoting of every post in a community happens. But apart from that scenario it is very dumb.
