What kind of effect does knowing exactly which people downvoted you have on a platform? Is there a chilling effect on downvotes, is there revenge downvoting? I guess we’ll find out.

It’s not like we haven’t had public downvoting in the fediverse yet. We already found out in the past.

Kbin had public downvotes and the main effect was that people put more thought into their downvotes. While I assume it wasn’t without abuse, I’ve never seen it brought up as an active problem, just something that could theoretically happen.

they won’t be able to understand may answer

I assume that “may” is an unintentional mistyping of “my”, right?

I definitely agree. I want to point out errors, but the issue is most people do not want errors to be pointed out and see it as nitpicking at best, or an act of aggression at worst.

No, they’re downvoting because they don’t like what the post is saying.

People misusing voting buttons as a like/dlislike button is a well known issue and reality, at least on Reddit. But considering the system works the exact same here, it’s no surprise that the same problem persists here as well.

I assume it’s due to people not trusting Youtube with false positives. They don’t have the best reputation with the rest of their AI moderation stuff.

Considering your wording in the last paragraph

I’m really confused by people’s reaction to OP here. I agree that I personally don’t share OP’s experiences, but what’s wrong with that last paragraph? It’s not overwhelming at all, so how does it indicate that their writing style is overwhelming? (I know MINE is, no need to point that out)

If people have trouble understanding it, then reading comprehension must really be at rock bottom.

I agree that formatting is important with l proper text length, but this is literally two lines, this isn’t in need of bullet points.

If you ask me, anti-propaganda is facts

You know how “woke” (awake; aware of what’s going on) is considered a negative by the far right?

Their entire point is to abandon the facts of reality and instead live in a dream world where only their imagination is real. Facts and people who cling to the real world are their enemy to that end.

Notice that while their economic goals are at complete odds with one another, they are both authoritarians.

You’re thinking of the political compass there, which has two axes, one being the economic one (left/right) and the other being the Authoritarian (top) vs Libertarian (bottom) axis.

But the left/right most people use is a one-dimensional system which puts everything on that one axis. It’s based on how the French parliament used to be set up between the radical left and the aristocratic right.

The point being, the two left/right axes aren’t equivalent. I personally also think in the political compass, that’s the system we learnt in school, so I’m unclear on what falls where on the basic left/right axis. But Wikipedia has this to say:

While communism and socialism are usually regarded internationally as being on the left, conservatism and reactionism are generally regarded as being on the right.[1] Liberalism can mean different things in different contexts, being sometimes on the left (social liberalism) and other times on the right (conservative liberalism or classical liberalism). Those with an intermediate outlook are sometimes classified as centrists.

Sounds like a torrent

Because it is torrenting. I clicked on the “More information” link in the popup and:

PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server. The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance’s BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.

No idea about copyright though, but I also don’t quite understand the issue there that doesn’t apply to ActivityPub itself too.

It’s a lot better nowadays than Google, so I do, yeah.

Probably because of the Adblock Plus mention. It’s mired in controversy because of its acceptable ads toggle and requiring ad giants to pay for it. So I can imagine people downvoting comments that put it in a positive light compared to other adblockers.

I’m a bit confused as an Adblock Plus user, why did the ublock dev drop those features? ABP uses manifest v3 too and it still has all of those. So it’s clearly not about them being impossible.
