Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

    Edit: Obligatory RIP my inbox.

    Can we leave this kinda stuff behind? It is NOT obligatory.

      I’m going to start throwing “edit: thanks for the gold kind stranger!” on the end of my comments just to induce some nostalgic cringe.

      This.

      EDIT: Thanks for the awards kind stranger!

      EDIT 2: Rip my inbox

      This is all examples of reddit shit that is really dumb. We don’t need to bring it over here

      Redditisms are cringe and always have been. Yes I agree we should leave them behind.

        Well, I disagree. Redditsms, or whatever you call them, among other things helped to make reddit as popular as it is (was) right now.

        I get you don’t like it personally, but your personal opinion about them being cringe, while respectable, is not a fact.

          I agree with both of you. We should leave redditisms behind and create lemmyisms. And yes, they get cringe if overused

            Possibly relatedly, is this a good place to mention beans? I have not figured out where that meme actually came from, but apparently it’s a thing the cool kids are saying.

        Yes all the bad Reddit jokes and unoriginal lame attempts at garnering upvotes eg making a stupid joke out of a typo (generally unfunny, rare exceptions), I also choose this guy’s wife, take my upvote you bastard, anything along the lines of wow I hate you for making a pun, I’m not crying you are, I feel personally attacked and god knows the list goes on and on

        Hopefully these things aren’t just replaced but one can hope
