Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy

  That’s precisely your issue before. Voting in reddit is not private as admins know that info and can share with anyone so the “bad voter” could get prosecuted. But users, like you, think it’s private because they don’t see it.

  Be consistent with your argument at least.

  I will disengage here. Bye!

    How likely is an admin to share something with someone else vs something being already public?

  Mods can also see them for their communities iirc.

  But it’s part of the activity pub protocol and how things work between federated platforms. Some platforms display the votes in public for everyone
