I was thinking that it would make sense to federate upvotes, but with the hash of your username instead of your actual handle. Would this work?

How long until it gets abused, and trolls start brigading though instances that hide their votes?

Piefed already does this, because it is the way.

I was thinking just now how there seems to be people who downvotes threads for no apparent reason, even seemingly innocuous and neutral ones.. for example "Kingdom Come has sold 2 million units" 3 downvotes; "This New Algorithm for Sorting Books Is Close to Perfection" 5 downvotes; you get the idea. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion, but It makes me wonder if someone(s) is spam downvoting for some motive.

My guess is accidentally hitting the button while scrolling, and too lazy to change it.

The first isn't really interesting, and the second is clickbait. I wouldn't say there is no reason for downvoting them.

[-] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

You are NOT supposed to downvote things that "aren't really interesting", you are actively ruining other people's user experience on here by doing that as downvoted posts get less visibility.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 5 days ago

Some people might think it's not interesting because it's not appropriate content for that community, and that by downvoting they are improving the quality for everyone. I don't think every instance/community has a unified consensus on how exactly to use voting, and some people are always going to do their own thing regardless.

This is one of the reasons why I'd love to see a more expanded method of reacting to content rather than simply upvoting or dowvoting; something like, say, user-side thread or post tagging, with things like "verified", "clickbait", and mood reacts like "happy" vs "sad", and usefulness reacts like "solved, thanks" vs "closed as duplicate", etc. We need more and better axes.

I wish I could see what scummy lemm.ee mods removed my comments and got me banned
