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.

Always in favor of taking power from mods that they can abuse and simply do not need.

The 1 "You think you can come into MY instance, and downvote ME?" post I read was 1 too many.

I'm guessing we saw the same one, and that's literally the only instance I've completely blocked.

Was it midwest.social by any chance?
