      Well end up with so many alternatives that access the threadiverse differently, some that mask your upvotes/downvotes somehow, some that are open about it and block those that mask them lol, fractured community

      It’s also the herd reaction. It may be enough to have a couple of bots downvote or upvote something, and then the crowd goes after them.

      Not even talking about, say, someone being pissed and going to other user’s profile to downvote all their recent comments.

      It’s just useful to see such things - one-day-old accounts putting reactions, and one and the same user following you to press their internet satisfaction arrow.

      In any case anonymous reactions just don’t make any sense, it’s a number, what if most in that number are jerks? (Actually they are, I can’t imagine stooping low enough to care to put a downvote, but not writing why).
