A lot of those are joke downvotes, well mine was.
I downvote anyone complaining about downvote out of principle.
Found Satan.
I'll also down vote anyone using up votes as some kind of metric for their post/comment being inherently right/good
You've upvoted this one though. 🤔
You haven't on this post.
Oh I'll disappear! Although it's usually from.my attention wandering. 🤪
The weird thing is, my "view votes" on that post is showing an upvote.
Most be some kind of federation issue - if I had to guess, you get an automatic upvote when you post (which federates) but if you then change it, this may not.
I'm bit sure it is a big deal as it isn't treated as seriously as it us on Reddit. It'll be correct on your home Instance which is the canonical record.
It has only just popped up as an option in a post's menu, I am unsure who can see it (might be an Admin thing). I'll check.
[edit: I checked, it's an Admin thing. Now you've had a peek behind the wizard's curtain and it's not that exciting]
Sorry, I wasn't calling you a liar - it was more an offhand observation as it looked like the automatic upvote had caught you out.
Well they look like trouble!
Mine wasn't.
Communities trying to have alternate meanings for upvotes/downvotes must keep in mind that people scrolling posts across communities won't generally notice the community and if they do they won't read the rules and will vote however they want. Trying to force them to follow some silly community specific process is tilting at windmills and bitching about it is embarrassing.
