Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.

It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.

        Ok who’s 002? As you can see from my instance, you probably can guess I know who rimu is.

          That extremely personality disordered person with one or several accounts on multiple instances that is mostly a repost bot, claiming none of it is scripted, which is an obvious untruth.

      I envy your lack of imagination.

      Let’s say 0.5% of users care enough about unreported bots to downvote or report them. If all information is public, you can quickly hide your bot comment or posts from that 0.5% and dodge being detected by the community.

        How do you hide from those 0.5%? Blocking someone stops you seeing them, it doesn’t stop them seeing you?

            Yes, to the complaint of many but that’s how it currently works.

              There’s no good solution.

              Now I can follow around people who blocked me and subtly accuse them of all sorts of awul things and they won’t see it.

                Yip that’s the complaint about it. Lots of problems with no obvious solutions. I’m not sure how Piefed handles it.
