  And that should probably be configurable

    To truly make that change, they would have to change how the federation works. Right now its visible to anyone who runs a server your server federates with.

    I hear Mbin users can already see it.

      Yeah, and I think that’s the argument about making it public.

      But access rights to stuff seems like the kind of thing that should be configurable, even if it requires a change and isn’t backwards compatible

        There I agree with you.
        Making it public right now is useful to remove a dangerous false sense of privacy. But in the bigger picture I agree with you.

        I wonder how one would solve that though. If you send a “vote” request without any user data, what stops you from sending 100?
