I understand that it’s not nice to hear, but it’s a habit that makes Lemmy a lot less interesting as soon as you have a minority interest or opinion. For example, I’m not conservative but it wouldn’t occur to me to downvote a post on c/conservative, they have the right to have their place.
I definitely get that and it’s cool that you don’t do that. This isn’t political though, I’ve got a few accounts on on other instances, and this guy so far has messaged me twice saying the same thing. Like who even are you dude ?
I don’t care if someone is an admin, if it bothers you that much then turn your votes off.
Had nothing to do with politics or the region he mentioned either. Sorry I’m not meaning this to come off as if I’m yelling, my tone here, is more just perplexed by this.
They’re literally just trying to be helpful, while perhaps preventing unwarranted reduction in visibility for a given type of content.
Blocking is one of the tools you have to curate your feed, downvoting is not. Votes are essentially crowd-sourced curation of everyone’s feeds.
Them turning their votes off, wont help you avoid the content you don’t want, nor remove your potentially misguided impact on everyone else’s feeds.
This admin is literally doing you, and everyone else, a kindness. They are trying to maximize everyone’s experience on lemmy, including yours, and your response to them is frankly disgusting.
