This kills the Lemmy.

absolutely a horrible idea. please for the love of god don't do this, it will only lead to people getting dunked on for how they upvote/downvote.

You know what this feature is really useful for? Seeing who upvotes spammers to preemptively block them. Admittedly, I haven't had much of a use for that aspect since kbin.social died, but it was neat while it lasted.

I think they should focus more on getting rid of bots, and get a little less ban happy on the people that are calling out bots or bullshit.

I'd love to see what mod removed content or banned someone.

I dont see the issue letting people see them. They are already public making it more accessible just increases equallity.

either way id still shit out my ass

arent they already though?

Nah I’ll fuck off.

Boosting a Lemmy post in Mastodon shows up as an upvote in Lemmy. So the two concepts seem to be coupled in the activitypub substructure. I don't see how upvotes would be secret then, as I don't think it's possible to boost something privately on Mastodon.

While I don't necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn't save, and I couldn't find it.
