Lemmy instance admin snooping at votes (monero.town)

So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

What's the instance?

Or is it right in front of my face and I'm not seeing it?

So wait the instance doesn't exist anymore?

It does, maybe the post or comment got deleted.

Actually, no. The post is still up and the comment too. So maybe it's just in case it gets deleted.

I see.

NARRATOR: The user did, in fact, not see. They were, actually, still very confused. One should not feel bad, however, as the user does, in fact, very much have "the dumb" and, therefore, gets confused easily.
