Currently, almost anyone in the Fediverse can see Lemmys votes. Lemmy admins can see votes, as well as mods. Only regular Lemmy users can't. Should the Lemmy devs create a way to make the votes anonymous?

There is a discussion going on right now considering "making the Lemmy votes public" but I think that premisse is just wrong. The votes are public already, they're just hidden from Lemmy users. Anyone from a kbin/mbin/fedia instance can check out the votes if they are so inclined.

The users right now may fall into a false sense of privacy when voting because the votes are hidden from Lemmy users. If you want to vote something and not show up on the vote list, please create another account to support that type of content and don't tell anyone.

I will always downvote ai shit. Brigade 100%. I'm fact this reminds me I need to get through all the ai subs and downvote everything again.

We need to reveal downvotes so we can identify the ai lovers.

And then?

Also brigade them

You make a good point for anonymity of the votes

Thanks, that's what I was getting at, but I still also hate ai shit.
