I wasn’t talking about opening it why your account. As i said, you don’t need to interact with your account, you have a web browser.
you are right to defend your opinion but on the other hand there is thing that you can’t defend as those post i sent. So our vote quickly switched in defavour of hexbear. We were against defederation with hexbear firstly. And you didn’t question that.
Yes Lemmy dev designed vote of Lemmy that way. Any admin can see vote so they can check if there was any brigaging. I can’t. There was a raiding and a massive amount of upvote, downvote, so that’s when we check them up.
There are melery hidden but visible anywhere on the fediverse. On mbin, you can see upvote. You can see them on iceshrimp. And if you mount your own server, you can see everything.
Vote system has its pro and cons. In some case it allows us to block spam, push a good post. Other case it transform the whole thing as a stadium and escalate quickly.
I’m against voting system because it encourage a social pressure. I would completly remove them as beehaw do.
The idea of voting is promoting the most interesting/funny comment promote a mindset. And it doen’t tell anything about its content.
I prefer a tag system that tell us i’m talking about vegetable or scientific study. Then other tags as “good tips” “complete newpaper” “hilarous” “sad” “thank you !”
Indeed, it’s not alway pleasent seing ourselve in a mirror for anyone me included. That’s when you decide what is the best action.
Staying silent because you know it can be detrimentale, because you went there too. Because you know that he/she would deny. Because he/she will react badly and you need to protect yourself. Because it is not the right time and later they will ready.
Or saying the truth. I exposed you because it was a very serious issue and I wanted you to question your values. I wanted you to change, otherwise i wouldn’t write to you again.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t see that way, i’m a pest, aren’t i ? 😊 It was my own way to help you a little and then hexbear.
@thoro
That’s the same principle as in any election. We check out your identity, make sure you didn’t vote twice, that you live there. That’s the core of the democracy system : transparency.
If i sum up, you want no one to check who backed those posts. Or find out a hexbear alt/supporter account as this one.
The best way is to completly remove the voting system from Lemmy because if vote aren’t public, most admin/mod team will remove them.
