    I don't know it's just a brain fart fantasy at the moment, haven't seriously looked into it. But afaik there is no voting ring detection in Lemmy.

      It would still make it near impossible to audit voting behavior from any instance if such practices came into effect. A single instance using that mechanism in a malicious way could seriously manipulate votes and it would be very hard to tell it was happening.

  I have this brilliant original idea, scroll down, and here you & @A_A@lemmy.world are…

  I was thinking an app like Voyager could help vote from a non-posting account. Maybe it’d need to route through a proxy to better obscure the connection between a posting and non-posting account. Seeing PieFed, suppose you could try that route instead but your idea might be more secure. Folks just have to trust you I suppose hehe. Maybe one could build greater trust with a Lemmy app (Voyager) than an instance (PieFed) if they proved the app kept stuff private locally, or am I wrong?

  User’s votes anonymization through this system looks quite nice for me.

  I like the idea - if the lemmy devs do implement public voting I’d definitely move over. Not only does it maintain the (current) state of voter visibility, but it also protects from the frequently cited admin and kbin/mbin exploits. Trusting one admin is far easier than trusting every admin.
