it might be unfair to ask as this is just based on your username but:
do they resent you for taking smoke breaks?
do they know you're a furry?
Also occasionally PICNIC for problem in chair, not in computer.
dual-voting (“I downvoted because I don’t like it but I upvoted it because you are absolutely right about it")
This is the most interesting take i have seen on the matter. it's not a score out of five, why shouldn't you up and down vote the same post?
you make an objectionable but very interesting point?
you are essentially right but you are belligerent and can't spell?
upvote and downvote.
For one, you can say fuck on the internet, and for two, who are you to give out such ridiculous orders?
there's a comment from a few months ago with a torrent, the date inside is july 2022 so will be missing anything newer: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/5089994
Get raised catholic, turn out gay. What's to make sense of? Lots of religious followers cherry pick the bits of text they like and disregard the rest, why should gays be any more rational?
it's a reasonable reply, fair play to you

my wife and I closed on a deal for an apartment in a hilltop town in Umbria
Yes, it's true! I bought a hilltop village home
wild-boar ragù, anyone?
please spare a bomb for this hilltop
piefed is already extremely redditty maintaining behind-the-scenes 'karma' and 'attitude' for users whether they signed up for it or not. why shouldn't this info be public instead of in the hands of admins only?

it had a few hardcore fans, a quick search for RT9450 shows people still trying to get that to work up to about 2020
honestly i wouldn't mind having another scroll wheel/bar on the keyboard somewhere, in the middle above the function keys might be cool
also fyi that link can be tidied to https://www.ebay.com/itm/363221421164
had this on the wishlist, but i won't support all this day one dlc and season pass bullshit
no idea, comes from ofcom but i gave up looking
non-English countries
Pedantic point but of the major English QWERTY layouts, US has two Alts, UK has AltGr on the right
counter balanced
once it's eaten all the reddit posts it will eat yet more new & improved reddit posts
it isn't that misused buzzword but i don't see how it's rent seeking either
the author almost certainly has more experience in managing online communities than me (i have none) but it seems counterintuitive to see a dumb take, downvote and bother to leave an argumentative reply rather than just downvote and scroll past. downvotes in this case would defuse potential arguments rather than start them, but i'll defer to the author and assume that's not what happens
it seems from a very brief search that likes and dislikes (see link below, i assume they translate to up and down votes) are the extent of what is available so a more nuanced slashdot or steam review type rating is unlikely to be viable.
in any case the ability to upvote and downvote feels like a core differentiating feature to this kind of forum and inbetween measures are unsatisfactory. upvote and downvote anything you like, and everyone can see you doing so, would be an improvement imo on the current implementation.
at least it may be possible in a future version to allow or disallow voting behaviours on a community rather than instance basis?

the vote history of your lemmy account is visible
vs
your real name and address are exposed
how the fuck are these things similar
You mentioned accountability
not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info
(edited for clarity)
For legal reasons this is a joke
no other reasons apply
Do you have to pay for it or deposit it in the lock? In the UK it's common in all supermarkets that they need a refundable pound coin to unlock, so many people have a 'trolley token' keyring with a detachable part to use just for that
sure thing boss
it's a bit slippery slopey but yes i suppose so. if your downvoting sprees amount to being abusive as the admins or mods define it then on their terms your account should be banned, ip banned, whatever. i don't think there's any voting based behaviour that gets you in irl trouble, obviously posts inciting violence, sending credible threats or other behaviour that gets you noticed by your regional authorities is another kettle of fish, but none of that seems relevant to up/downvotes being visible
why would you delete your comment, then make a new account and use it to post the same comment?
that's kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn't lemmy show this to you?
the illusion of privacy
i am from the post usenet and pre facebook internet generation (i hope that is vague enough) so using my real name on the internet or signing up for accounts with my real name email acount is strictly verboten by indoctrination, so my opinion may be out of date or invalid somehow, but i can not see how your lemmy account's up or down voting history violates privacy in any meaningful way
lemmy and mbin show line breaks differently, in the same browser the line break is present on fedia.io and absent on lemm.ee
maybe so from a first world perspective, not that they've been idle in developing nations. but plenty of governments don't need the pope's say so to criminalise non-heterosexuality

obviously the word was meant to be acting, why act retardant about it
