There were more arguments for the anonymous votes to be abused for vote manipulation than power tripping mods

We've been over this before. I believe my ability to explicitly control how my information and privacy is handled on the fediverse is far more important than fake Internet points, especially when you can eliminate the impact of vote brigading by just reducing the impact of downvotes, or let a mod selectively wipe downvotes, or selectively make a post immune to downvotes. There's absolutely no reason why every action I make on the fediverse ahould be saved in plaintext in a thousand different places so that a person can be protected from seeing a largely inconsequential negative number on a UI. It's absolutely insane that so many people who are otherwise so concerned with privacy and cyber security even attempt to defend this.
