Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

I sometimes go on lemvotes to see who's upvoting garbage. 80% of votes are done by account with no or very little comments. I also noticed a lot of the pro zionist accounts went offline relatively all at the same time. Hard to trust anything on lemmy.
You think there's no or that few people who make an account to subscribe and block and vote without commenting or posting?
I assume it's a very valid way to use Lemmy.
Hold up. So Lemvotes is basically churning Palantir style data on who should get sent to some camp if they even accidentally upvote something with the P location name in it?
Why they do that?
Because any admin can see it, and Reddit is certainly selling it. It would be unsafe to assume these data are kept private.
What's lemvotes?
https://lemvotes.org/
It allows you to easily list users who upvoted or downvoted a post or comment. Most people don't realize their votes are public, as Lemmy doesn't display voters anywhere in the UI. The tool sparked quite a bit of debate when it was released, most of it unnecessary in my opinion as instance owners/admins, community moderators, and users of non-Lemmy software (like Mbin) can see vote information regardless.
