This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Votes should be public to everyone.

Nah. Then you have insane people who will harass you for downvoting their comment. Almost everything should be private. Hell, the most insane thing about Lemmy is that reports are public to the mods about who sent out a report.

One of the funniest things I witnessed was some tyrant instance owner breaking rules in other instances' communities and getting upset when people reported him to himself.

Aren't upvotes public on lemmy ?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Both upvotes and downvotes are public, as they have to be federated. I think most instances don't show downvote users however.

It would be a simple matter to just make an instance and turn on visibility, right?
