Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 4 weeks agoYeah, 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?

The data needs to be sent from the voter to the server that owns the post. But the server that owns the post can anonymize the data before it sends it to clients or other servers.
