No. But covid-19 belongs to the same group of viruses that also includes the common cold.

Sure it sucks. But you basically just have to rest for a day or two and your body just cures himself … I’d say that’s a pretty good response.
And thanks to our brains we also have medicine to combat most of these symptoms, making it really just a minor inconvenience.

Damn, you really need to touch some grass.

That really depends on how the anatomy of the men would look like. If you just give them a womb without a vagina … than yeah, they would literally have to get a C-section. However if you provide some means of giving birth naturally then I don’t see how your point holds.

Private voting across the fediverse, where plenty of users have multiple accounts spread out across the fediverse on different instances would invite a ton of mass-downvoting as it could be done with relative ease.
If it is proper coordinated or autmated mass-downvoting campaign that should be a job for the admins.
And it’s my legitimate use as a moderator to determine that someone who does that is not part of any community I am building, and is actively vandalous towards it.
Yes, that’s how it currently works. I’m arguing it shouldn’t work like this for votes.

It is almost always mass downvoters who get banned by community moderators for that conduct, not people who upvote or downvote selectively in good faith based on specific grievances with the content of the post.
Right and that’s exactly why I think it should be private. Because it shouldn’t be up to moderators to decide what “good faith” is. If someone wants to just have lurker account and downvote stuff on /all all day … that’s legitimate use of a the feature.
If you are one person with one account, you should be able to vote however you like without repercussions.

It’s not just about that. It’s also an important metric to gauge how the bigger “hivemind” is feeling about something, without having to fear that people will self-censor. Especially on lemmy with it’s extremely narrow filter bubbles. Voting is effectively obsolete if every niche community can pretend to be “popular” because they can just ban everyone that downvotes their stuff.

I think the same thing about public votes.

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

No, I don’t think you should ban people for voting and mods shouldn’t even have that info. That is something admins should deal with … and 5 accounts seems hardly worth bothering over.
Also users profiles are already viewable and usable as a “stalking tool” by the same logic. Do you also object to that?
No, they are different. Comments are primarily about expressing your opinion, wouldn’t make sense for them to not be public (that would just be 4chan). Votes don’t need that.

Doesn’t seem sound like a major problem to me.

I’d rather have the “downvote trolls” than abusive mods with a stalking tool.

You use a one-way hash instead of the user-identifying key that is currently used to store the vote value.

There’s not really a way to do votes privately on a federated system.
It’s a minor technical problem.

But these clowns are surprisingly common and much more of a problem than some trigger happy votes.

IMO, it enforces some sort of accountability to people’s voting behaviour.
But that was never something that was needed.
Instead now you get mods like this going around banning people for votes, intimidating people for voting which is removing the communities ability to hold bad posts accountable.

Public votes are probably the dumbest lemmy “feature”, so much unnecessary drama because of it.
- Comment on How popular/important do you have to be for your death by homicide to be labeled as an "assassination"? What if the homicide is for a private matter that's separate from their importance? 6 days ago:
So the only possible definition left is that an assassination is a killing that serves an end instead of being the end itself.
So every murder of a parent or spouse to get inheritance or insurance money is an assassination? That seems a bit to broad.
Also I can think if like a dozen possible other definitions that have not been ruled out.
