Because leftists usually defend human rights, and the authoritarian regimes defended by some people on Hexbear (but also lemmygrad and ml) tend to attack those human rights when they are in the way of their ideology (not unlike the far right politicians).
@Cowbee From what i saw, i don't see why you define yourself as leftist because your upvotes say otherwise and you didn't apologize nor tried to amend for it because it wasn't your. But you upvoted it.
It was a post where some hexbear account insulted me.
And there is a post where i saw your upvote and confronted you since you played as if you didn't took part of it, didn't know while being an advocate for hexbear's instance.
That was one of my worst experience on internet.
It left me a very sour taste and when i showed your upvote, i hoped you would apologize, recognize that you played a role, then stand up and try to talk to them. Something like that.
However, you still ask us to change our view on hexbear while they continue doing the same thing...You may consider changing your point of view.
I can’t interact with MeanwhileOnGrad from either of my 2 accounts, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I remember an admin abusing admin privledges to try to intimidate me into apologizing about who I upvoted and downvoted, so if that’s you then I suppose that checks out.
@Cowbee You don't need an account to see what those post are about. You know why you can't interact with them. You can see them.
No, sorry, i'm not the right person. I'm not an admin but an moderator. I don't belong to the trial section of the mod team, i don't take position.
Our vote are public, anyone can see them. For example on mbin. That's when i decided to sent that screenshot because you were defending hexbear anywhere.
@thoro That's the same principle as in any election. We check out your identity, make sure you didn't vote twice, that you live there. That's the core of the democracy system : transparency.
If i sum up, you want no one to check who backed those posts. Or find out a hexbear alt/supporter account as this one.
The best way is to completly remove the voting system from Lemmy because if vote aren't public, most admin/mod team will remove them.
