Don't downvote, it's not on purpose, just the limitations of their platform
They can't see the downvotes in Mastodon anyway, if I'm not mistaken.
(Assuming you meant to say don't downvote)
oh, yeah, that is what I meant, but it does lower it in ranking here, even if it's a good comment. They're not that common, don't let them bother you
Yeah I don't do it personally. But I also don't begrudge people for downvoting if they find the formatting annoying. The reality is that Mastodon and Lemmy simply don't play nice together atm, and that's a user experience issue that needs to be resolved anyway.
Some of us are willing to put up with the UX annoyances to see what the Mastodon users have to contribute, while others simply don't have the patience to deal with the hassle. The solution is to fix the integration so Mastdon users can post seamlessly without people even noticing they're using a different platform.
