I woke up today, to a public comment in a Lemmy community asking a series of tagged accounts why they had downvoted certain posts
I thought that reactions to posts and comments are anonymous and now I don’t really know what to feel about Lemmy any more.
In this case I had downvoted a poster because of its design, but was confronted publicly for being racist because the person assumed that I downvoted the message on the poster
EDIT: changed the title from “How” to “Why” because it broke rule nr 5 about it being a support question
4/999 negative votes (0.4%) or 99.6% positive
You’re one happy dude!

It’s weird that it only take into account what your reactions are, and not the content that you share. If you down vote negativity, but share content that is upvoted, you still get a negative ratio
Yeah I only downvote advertising and batshit crazy weirdos.
Edit: 2 of those I think we’re accidental downvotes. Sometimes I’m too stoned for voyagers swipe feature.
Advertising yeh we should be given extra for downvoting that.
I’m only 96% I thought I was happier. I’ll have to work on this.
