Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt’s a federated platform. How could voting have been anonymous?
Besides, nothing requires you to vote on posts. If you’re not comfortable voting, then don’t vote.

I am okay with votes being public but then it should be made explicitly clear to users.

The people I trust the least on these platforms are the admins and owners of them. Your voting wasn’t anonymous on reddit to those people either.

True but it is very less likely that admins will target a specific person when they know that information is private and they will get caught easily. Here, other than admins, every user can easily target someone.
