Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

  That’s not necessarily a false sense of privacy if it works. There’s an inconvenient barrier to searching vote history and if you do it in the current system you’d be recognized as petty at least. Easing access is not going to make Lemmy better.

    I’ve learned today kbin and mbin exposes it to users too

  “All you’d need to do is set up an instance” is waaaayyyyyy more work than “all you need to do is click their profile”

    You don’t need a whole instance, you just need a user on another service that have votes public, like Mbin.

      I checked and didn’t see them there, but maybe I was looking in the wrong place. Not saying they don’t exist there. Fwiw, I wouldn’t be replying with what I did if people had said something like that instead. I just find it laughable that people suggest setting up a whole instance as if that’s a simple thing. Checking from an mbin instance is a much better argument.

        I think you may need to be logged in or something, not sure.

    Is this meant to be reassuring? Because it really isn’t at all, and it just seems like you’re being dismissive to downplay the issue.

      No, I just don’t see how setting up an entire instance being a good argument. As others have suggested you can check it from mbin right now. I couldn’t find it though. If that’s the case then my opinion changes.

        So because it’s hard for you to access but easier for others, it’s not a problem? One user could just publicize the info on a more accessible website.
