  • I mean, votes are public in the fediverse. I wouldn’t try to read into the reasoning from a single downvoter too much though.

    One downvote could be accidental. 2 downvotes in the same thread makes that seem less likely.

    Downvoting/Upvoting doesn’t mean the same thing that it does for everyone. Some use it as an agree/disagree. Some use it for whether a comment is productive and adds to the conversation or not. Some use it as a visibility score whether they think a comment should be seen by others first or whether there are other comments that are better. Some may agree with most everything in a comment except for one part and then downvote because of that.











  • This is why you don’t take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.

    If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you’re probably a mule for money laundering.

    If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they’re actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you’re probably working with countries like this.

    If they want to use your name for a job application, you don’t have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you’re probably working with countries like this.
