Comment on we need more users
Skavau@piefed.social 1 week agoLemmy users could vote, but my assumption would be that their downvote simply would not federate out to other instances. Their downvote would be reflected in the local count on their instance.

Ah, so it will affect some, possibly even most Lemmy users - those on a difference instance? Still, I agree that it’s not ideal to mess with the votes in that manner, it would be better to block the vote as if the user were banned, but I suppose that is up to Lemmy to decide how they want to handle their own side of the situation (i.e. for the local instance to not confirm the vote with the recipient instance where the community is located).
