We're a small tight knit community. We see the same names everywhere. I'm sure many of you have been recognised by strangers before.

What is your claim to Lemmy fame.

no offense, but I remember you as the user who digs through your instance's server logs to find out who downvoted/reported you then post a @ tagging the user and demanding an explanation

πŸ‘€

This is honestly so hilarious. What kind of petty do you need to be to try and hound people for engaging with the community as intended? If you don’t want downvotes, go to an instance that disables them.

Voting is part of the dialogue, it's reasonable to ask people why they thought something was bad for Lemmy and shouldn't be on the site, it's just the next step in the dialogue.
