    Also punishes those who vote frequently, as I often do. I thought Voyager was having issues until I read the Piefed changelog. Unless my instance admin removes the limit I’m likely going back to lemmy.ca because I shouldn’t have to ration my upvotes. I like being able to boost engagement while also making it easier for me to see which comments I have or haven’t read yet.
