Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

You don't need to start a whole instance to find votes, you just need a user on any of the services that show votes publicly.

Also, if someone is getting angry about downvotes in a bad way, moderators should just step in. People should learn that votes is just part of the system and accept them.

Well if that sort of thing started happening, I think it’d be reasonable to have that person blocked, banned or defederated.

IMO, What’s possible doesn’t need to dictate what’s easy and common, especially when there are always balances and countermeasures previously involved.

I have better things to do with my time than just complain to admins/mods/mommy all day long.

I had to go through the experience of blocking stuff twice, and if I had to do that more, I'd just leave. I don't have time for that kind of toxicity in my life.
