It's a nice tool for admins and mods, but then again they already pretty much had access to this information. I've always believed votes are obscured for good reason, and knowing how people vote on your posts and comments is only going to bring about negative emotions.
Mods and admins need to know, but everyone else will just find sadness in this kind of data. I asked, but clearly wasn’t ready to hear the answer. Well, now I know where some of those seemingly random downvotes come from.
Wait, we did? I'm a mod and had no idea I could see peoples' votes. How do I do that? I say, as I probably will never use it until I start seeing my communities consistently getting downvotes on inoffensive posts that have no misinformation and are clearly on topic.
I'm not a mod but that's my understanding yes. An actual mod could probably help you, I guess ask for help in a fediverse/Lemmy support community?

Hey you are right, thank you!
For any other mods unaware of this feature, it only works on posts in communities you mod.
You're welcome!
