Comment on User "threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works" is banning users for downvoting his posts.
Skavau@piefed.social 17 hours ago5 accounts who between them downvoted everything I posted. 3 of them literally had no post history, and had multiple bans from other communities for the same behaviour. They were literally just doing the equivalent of vandalism.
They hurt the growth of my community and offered it nothing.

Yes, I understand your situation. It’s a price I’m willing to pay for private votes.

I think it would be long term corrosive to the honesty of the fediverse, and fall into the same trapping as reddit.

I think the same thing about public votes.

I truly don't see how. If you just mean mod abuse, mods will always abuse their power on any site - and the structure of the fediverse makes any mod anywhere more accountable than they are on reddit for bad faith moderating.
