Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy
dirtydocmark@sh.itjust.works 4 hours agoWhy would it need to be made clear? Likes on Facebook are public, nowhere does it say “liking this photo will alert every friend you have that you just liked your syepdaughters’ friends’ bikini pic from 2 years ago.”
I like the public vote system. Anonymous systems have a much greater potential for abuse.
Accounts are easy enough to make that you can just burn your account every few months if you’re that worried.

It is made clear because there is an option to see all the votes right next to the like button. Similarly, many sites allow you to go through activity of people you follow.

You can see the number of votes here too.

I can see the number of votes but not who voted. This gives the impression that this information is not available publicly. However, it can be accessed by anyone on third party websites.

Then don’t vote? Nobody is forcing you to interact with the content and it’s kind of hilarious you think it’s a security/privacy violation.
And then you put the cherry on top by saying “reddit is safe.”
