Just found this space, I’m trying to play around with this platform. Can anyone help to explain?

    And anyone can be an admin. You can just make an instance and appoint yourself an admin. So in practice it’s not limited to anybody.

        Is it the same for downvotes?

        Yes

        It’s honestly a big downside. I can see it being useful for admins on their own instances to detect brigades or vote manipulation coming from different servers, but I don’t like that they are public, because it could discourage people from voting honestly on topics where they could potentially be harassed for engaging

          Well, if someone gets harassed for voting then the harasser should be banned, just as if you get harassed for any other reason. So it’s not any different than posts or comments in that way.

      That’s interesting, I thought you could only see votes for communities from instances where you are an admin.
