you *shouldn't*. nobody can keep you from doing it, and given the recent developments I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit would actually reverse course on this soon.

but for the reason I mentioned, you shouldn't vote in linked threads, even if you like the posts or comments, *unless* you've already joined the sub before or will join after visiting the post.

Generally, downvoting is much worse than upvoting :)
