The best bit is that we can't even see it lmao
Oh no ledditors are expressing silent disapproval
I think that means they've already been bullied into silence
Purposely going on an instance I don't like to own the trans people who can't even see my dissaproval
Do the mods still have the power they had when they banned a whole buncha transphobes years ago? For those who don't know they combed through weeks of logs and found anyone who regularly downvoted trans comments/posts and banned all of them at once. It was absolutely glorious. Nobody was safe. Well. None of the transphobes were safe. The rest of us just thought it was hilarious.
Might be time to pull out that old power
And we'll fuckin do it again 
That was so fucking funny. Just an immediate orbital strike on every secret transphobe solved so many problems on this site
Remember that one user whose excuse was something like "I downvote all pinned threads out of principle, that just happens to include the ones about transgender stuff!"
I think they were actually unbanned after complaining only to get themself banned again a week later, permanently that time lmao
What a legend

Uphold TC69 thought ๐ค๐ค๐ค 
lemmy really giving us the 
experience
Yeah, it really is the most reddity thing isn't it.
When that vote gets federated does the person that sent the vote get federated too? Is it possible that our admins can like... Look that up? Lol.
Because if you can look it up you can ban that dipshit and they won't be able to vote.
Alternatively we can @ them into here to make fun of them

To the downvoter: We see you, we hear you. Your concerns are important to us.
we left our response in here 
the downvoter should spelunk a little ๐
New site tag line plz mods
This is the best they can do, isn't it?
A symbolic gesture of hatred that their targets can't even see.

hopefully it's a very confused and upset egg
"these posts are way too relatable and it makes me angry" 
I don't see it on lemmygrad so it is coming from an instance that is dederated from us.
Downvotes on instances without downvotes aren't federated. If they're showing up from a lemmy.ml account, they're from lemmy.ml users
Got it. Thanks.
stay mad transphobes
also that 'someone is' post got a report saying 'Dog whistle for inciting violence'
Transphobe delenda est!
not only can I not see it, but a few minutes after closing this post I will probably forget about it
Hey that's my post
Downvotes on Lemmy don't mean anything. Think of the points on Lemmy like the points in Whose Line, they don't matter. Regardless, it could be a bot. There used to be one on Reddit that autodownvoted every post to "negate the self upvote" or some stupid crap. Basically, don't worry about the downvote, and keep enjoying life. Don't let the downvoter live rent-free in your mind. Let that idiot go homeless, lest s/he live forever in your brainscape for free.
The big problem is that this person isn't yet banned from Hexbear if they're able to see and downvote our posts. That means there is some transphobic creep out there stalking transgender users on Hexbear. We can't yet know if this person will try to sift through posts to dox trans people once they realize their downvotes have no effect.
That is a very common outcome when a transphobic freak feels their harassment isn't effective, see the entire history of KiwiFarms. And while we're on that subject, we also have no idea whether this person will organize raids on Hexbear by posting screenshots to the very many transphobic discord servers that literally only exist to mock and ridicule trans people in an attempt to pressure them into suicide.
Evil pieces of shit like this should most ideally be shot in the head. Second most ideally they should be publicly doxed and their friends/family/employer informed of their behavior. Without the means to accomplish those first two actions, the next best thing we can do to protect our trans comrades is to find out what account is doing this, and ban them to ensure they'll never be able to interact with Hexbear on that account again.
If the lemmy.ml admins are cooperative with that goal, then we can ensure the next reactionary on lemmy.ml who does this can't hide behind the anonymity of downvotes on their new, not yet banned account.
The big problem is that this person isn't yet banned from Hexbear if they're able to see and downvote our posts.
They might very well be banned. The downvotes are being seen from lemmy.ml. Bans basically function as a shadow ban - the user can still see and interact with the copy of the "content as seen through lemmy.ml", but their comments and votes aren't federated back to Hexbear.

I think you underestimate our ideological commitment. Remember, we once banned every single person who'd downvoted any post or comment on trans issues. And if we still had downvotes we'd do it again.
It was for those with a pattern of down voting
