They complain that thier feed is being “polluted” while actively censoring the feeds of others that subscribe to communities. How is that not a self-centered and irrational thinking?
Is it self-centered if a lot of people do it, though? Is voting “a self-centered” action, or a community one?
But that’s besides the point.
My point is that it doesn’t matter why they do it. The platform allows it, so it’s fair game. If it wasn’t, then admins should have an option to disable voting from people who are (1) browsing All and (2) not subscribed.

Everyone can be self centered at the same time. Not sure why you think that wouldn’t be possible.

Depends on the voter.

It hard to see why you expect that the “Admins” would be able to prevent anything they don’t prefer so casually.
It would be nice if the software allowed for many more things but it is limited, development is slow, and prioritizes what they get funding to work on. If you look at the issues list, you’ll see that there are many desired changes, so the current release is not how the developers intend it to function.

I would really like this feature, but it doesn’t exist. If I were an admin a lemmy instance, I would not consider it fair game to downvote a post on a community that you’re not subscribed to. It would be a lot of work to enforce that. Just like there’s a lot of work to reduce SPAM. I wouldn’t call SPAM fair game because the developers haven’t created a perfect SPAM filter (currently, they don’t have one at all). I would consider SPAM self centered even if many people do it.
