By that I mean that you should be able to drill into post and comment votes, and see the users.
Votes for me are really just a temperature gauge, for me to see if the content I’m posting is appreciated by a community. Other than that, they don’t actually seem to have too much impact on this platform, likely because of scale and algorithm (or lack there of).
That being said, I’ve noticed some mild, weird “turf war” style downvote brigading of community posts. Not botting per say, but deliberate and individual shitty behavior. It’s ultimately no more than a mild annoyance, but I think transparency into the social voting behavior of users would encourage accountability.
Rabble rabble anonymity though!
There’s no actual impact to a user’s anonymity. There’s just less of a free pass to act shitty and not get the boot from a community, under whatever moniker and internet personality type you choose.
I forgot Lemmy users can’t see who upvoted/downvoted something (votes are still visible in Kbin)
I’ve noticed there are people who just spam with downvotes for no reason (downvoting a certain community’s posts, downvoting all comments under a post, downvoting all posts/comments made by someone they may not like etc), it’s pretty weird
You know what’s funny is that none of that downvote spamming I mentioned seems to be coming from kbin users. Which further supports my opinion that transparency breeds accountability.
