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

Have you SEEN the drama that happens in this place? I feel like this is just asking for weird nobodies to harass anyone who quietly disagrees with them.

If this passes then I'm outta here.

Why would this encourage harrassment? It would just expose harrassment.

There are bots that exist solely to downvote specific users and instances. If you and JacobRimJob downvote each other every time you see each other and eventually argue about it until it devolves into passionate lovemaking, tbats not what harrassment is.

It would also expose upvote bots promoting propoganda.

It would encourage harassment the same way comment history does: someone goes looking for it, sees it, and attacks the person over it.

If I say some shit you disagree with then feel free to engage with me. I'm literally here for discussions. What are you here for?

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.

I agree, people shouldn't be ashamed of their vote history unless they are trying to harass a person or community with a pattern of downvotes.

I still don't want to be harassed for my voting though, nor will I be pressured into defending my votes if a user brings it up.

I want to apologize for my needless aggression earlier. I spent the morning arguing with CCP propogandists and its got me seeing red. (see what I did there?)

No worries! :)

They can come at me, I downvote every single hexbear post in the feed regardless of content.
