Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy

Why are you saying IP addresses are publicly shown here and why is (almost) no one correcting you? That would’ve been an enormous privacy risk that would’ve required intentionally fucking users over. Just doesn’t even make sense to write what you did about IP addresses. Seems like you’re just hoping to cause some panic.

Admins can get them. It is not available to everyone.

Only the admin of your instance can see your IP address, it doesn't get federated to other instances.

Who says that Reddit isn’t selling upvote/downvote and IP info? Or sharing with govts?

I am not worried about big tech because they scrape everything anyways. I am more worried about the witchhunt and potential admin abuse.
And even this does not happen, it should be made clear that votes are public

Why are you worried about admin abuse? If you are worried that your admin will abuse you, you should switch to an instance you trust more.

What?

Okay so then why fearmonger? You’re thinking that a handful of people in the world having your IP and also opinions is somehow more dangerous than anything else on the Internet?

Only admins of your instance.
