the fast and the furiosa

NGL, it's not really a b movie, and not really a movie poster... But my first attempt came out so friggin good I had to just use it as it is.

Sorry, the best I can do is passive aggressiveness and righteous indignation

The data needs to be sent from the voter to the server that owns the post. But the server that owns the post can anonymize the data before it sends it to clients or other servers.

That said I don't have deep understanding of activitypub. Its possible that something would prevent this, like if votes made their way to the server that owns the post by way of telephone game rather than directly from the client or the user's home server. But that seems like an unreasonable design, so I doubt (hope not) that is the case.

Yeah, and I think that's the argument about making it public.

But access rights to stuff seems like the kind of thing that should be configurable, even if it requires a change and isn't backwards compatible

And that should probably be configurable

Allow it to be configurable by server or community. Some communities may benefit from allowing the public or mods to see votes, while others would be hurt by it.

Servers can see who voted on what, even if the vote is on another server.

So if you view the vote from a server that makes the views public (like a kbin server) or you run your own Lemmy server, then you can see it.

Most clients make having multiple accounts super easy.

Not that I'd know anything about that 🫣

But think of the opportunities you'd get naming your pet tha... Wait...

If you think a first grader learns anything but swear words, after a single day of teaching, I've got some news for you.

You sound like one of those edgelords who acts like grumpy old men who cry at young people for doing things differently.

I bet you could stop talking and everyone would like you better ♥️
