Can’t believe that I’m defending downvoters. But downvoting does not always mean that they disagree with the message of a post. Some even just use it as a “mark as read” button, some fat fingered, some might think it doesn’t belong in this community.
yeah i was gonna say, i support the post’s message but i don’t see it as a “late stage capitalism” thing. these things happen even outside late stage capitalism, so that’s rather unrelated.
(i upvoted btw)
might be better into the world news, political or sth community
They are free to argue in the comments if they don’t agree with the post itself, otherwise it’s fine to assume that they are crypto-zionists and shame them.
I habitually downvote anything referring to the site formerly known as twitter, especially if it’s a pointless screenshot. Glad I read a bit further into this one if that is your attitude.
Why is the screenshot even nessecary? Does somebody think that posting on X is somehow more legitimate than anywhere else?
I also downvote about 10 posts a day entirely by accident because the downvote button on my screen is about 4 pixels and rests in the natural scroll area.
My point is that a downvote probably doesn’t always mean what you think it does.
Even then, I think it’s a bad precedent. It makes Lemmy feel toxic.
I don’t think votes should be private (as that leads to all sorts of complications, especially with fighting bots/spammers), but I think Lemmy/Piefed should encourage a culture of not highlighting it, unless it’s strictly for a spammer or some other objective rules violation.
The likely chilling effects are obvious to me. Who’d want to (intentionally or accidentally) tap a button on this site when someone’s gonna post your username for it?
Punishment for using default features is concerning for a platform. If we needed thought police they’d probably make downvotes more visible to us.
We can already keep bad content in its place by downvoting it ourselves. We can use logs to investigate brigaging and stalking-to-downvote and suspicious mass upvoting, etc. We owe other users restraint if we want them to come back.
Noticed good behavior on my comment. When a user (whose name I do not need to be told by a third party) believed I didn’t add to the discussion, they used a platform voting feature as intended.
Normally I wouldnt do some thing like this but those opposed to holding them accountable should be called out too

Since the list has grown
Get your ass here and update the list.
Duplicate. Doesnt look like your update took
One more name at the bottom
Yeah but it’s cut off and we can’t see it.
Did you click the full image? It shows the 8 downvotes and several up votes
At the bottom of the downvotes part, not the bottom of the image… obviously.
Shoutout to you, OP. More users should be shamed. Would love to see these genocide defending twats defend their votes.

So you engage in genetic fallacy? Gotta keep those echo chamber walls tall and secure.
What on earth do you mean?
Or perhaps they oppose X, starting a witch hunt under a twitter/X post sounds stupid
How did u get that list?
lemvotes
they’re a mod
It’s public information, no need to be a mod
til
what did they do ?
Votes are technically public, so technically there’s nothing wrong with this, but doxxing voters still feels slimey.
Doxxing implies I provided personally identifying info like home addresses, work locations, telephone numbers, other social media accounts, etc.
You know what I meant. Encouraging brigading, to be more precise.
Lemmy keeps that info hidden by default for a reason.
Perhaps zionists should be brigaded.
Even then, I think it’s a bad precedent. It makes Lemmy feel toxic.

So you don’t know brigading is either?
Lemmy hides it by default. They hide it for a reason, whatever you want to define that reason as.
It feels icky to work around by posting the list of downvotes.
I’ll debate over that, but I’m not going to beat around the bush or start a snarky semantics argument over a linguistic error I made.
Well, that’s an important distinction
Yeah. I made a linguistic error.
Point is, it feels icky, which is why it’s hidden by default.

Agreed. This is what I was getting at, and you put better than I could.

That isn’t Doxxing.
Do you even know what Doxxing is?
Calling users out for defending genocide isn’t doxxing. Finding out their real names, addresses, places of work, etc…
That’s Doxxing.
