Comment on You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.

I’m not sure about the downvotes part (i failed to recreate this lmao) but you can already view upvotes with mbin. Piefed solves this problem with a option to make your votes private (but from my tests it didn’t work? weird)

IIRC, piefed's private votes are disabled for "trusted" instances. You can see which instances are trusted here.

Ah, well that sucks :( i thought it just used a different strategy to do so if it was trusted, not outright disable it.
Will correct it, thanks

IIRC PieFed’s method is to send the upvote using a second random username not connected to your username.

Damn, so this is how I find out we’re least trustworthy part of the commonwealth.

That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

Bummer.
It depends what your threat model is. Admins being dickheads about who downvoted what was the main issue at the time so I made it about choosing which admins to trust.
If future Lemmy versions show votes to mods (not just admins) then Pandora's box would be well and truly open so we'd need to rethink this.
