FunkyDuck@lemmy.worldtoYou Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from privateEnglish
7·
1 year agoI’ve been harassed across subreddits before by one person because I disagreed with them on something. You can block them but all the sudden they pop up on another account. Some people are just crazy.
The issue is that I often don’t want to comment and engage with some of the psychos that show up on the internet. Downvotes are a passive way to help move hateful/ignorant comments to the bottom of the thread. Having downvotes publicly accessible is giving these psychos a way to directly engage back with you.
