I know, public votes, that's how Lemmy and the Fediverse work.
It bothers me a little though.

It bothers you that someone would report it? Or that someone took the time/effort to actually directly message you claiming that they did so?
Public votes could be an issue is my point. They probably didn't report it, no rules were broken. It's just to be annoying.
On reddit I didn't wonder if people would scrutinize my votes if I wanted to go against the flow for whatever reason (comments are a different dynamic)
Example: feel free to downvote this, I promise I won't contact you with a fake report claim
I just shake my head every time someone attempts to assert votes mean anything within an environment where a solid 90% of the content is inorganic.
