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


also:
hey @whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works I see you downvoted my comment, care to share your opinion??
fuck you!
forgot to switch accounts?
Humor is lost on you.
Ah, that’s a common mistake, you have to file it under “humour” or it won’t be properly processed.
