    I’m still trying to wrap my mind around the enforced anonymity of up-votes and down-votes(and the seeming concensus that “this is a good thing”). Whether I can articulate all of my opinions or not, I definitely don’t care to take the time to do so with all of them, particularly when they’ve already been spelled out by others(yay up-votes). A stupid number is easier to ignore than a well-thought-out(or otherwise) wall-of-text, that spaws others.

    Personally, I have no qualms about blocking someone over their up-votes and down-votes, and anonymizing, or disabling, either, just seems to make it easier for trash that can keep quiet to hide. Personally, I identify with Marjory, so I guess it evens out.

    TL;DR: I’m all for giving (biggotted)trash the lowest-effort-possible ways to out themselves, provided the rest of us can act upon it.

    … but y’all seem to have figured it out within the constraints of the Lemmy system, while I’m still reeling at the notion that this seems to be the best thing out there with any traction among the masses.
