Is there a downvote bot on lemmy or something that downvotes a post regardless of the content ? If there is a downvote bot what can we do about it ? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Kbin doesn’t federate downvotes from other instances though, so you can only see the downvotes made through Kbin. I believe for Lemmy, the only way to see the identities of voters is through direct database access. Maybe some third party apps show that though?

mbin federates downvotes.. forgot that kbin is kinda behind now

I figured it was a conscious design decision. Maybe it just doesn't work, idk. It's kind of nice not seeing them though I am curious sometimes and will look on other instances.

On KBin I believe that it is (or at least was a bug that became a feature). There have been posts about it strongly urging Ernest not to change it and he's said he'll open it up to discussion before making major changes to it, if my recollection is accurate.
