Recently there have been multiple downvotes on comments such as those talking about Uyghur Zens made up nonsense, information on Ukraine war and nazis etc, before there was just 1 downvote but now it happens to have as far as 6-7 so it’s not just one anymore(which was possibly Wisoncom).
What is up with it?
No they are not. Admins can see them, users cannot, therefore they are not public.
But anyone can create a Lemmy instance 🤔
It’s public to nerds, dedicated trolls, and soon Facebook too cuz they’re gonna federate with us.
Facebook thankfully won’t see them as long as we make sure to defederate when they come to the Fediverse.
