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.

I can't imagine how any of these things could actually matter. Like... ...ever.

Even a little bit.

    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?

    Oh, that's how it works on reddit--you don't see them, they don't see you.

    Blocking is one-way on lemmy?

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