Because the fediverse isn’t as big as you think it is and so the number of crazies aren’t a problem yet.
Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say

It leads to an even bigger echo chamber, people with unpopular opinions will get ostracized not just for their comments, but even for their voting. There’s a reason why any real democracy has secret votes.

Comparing to democracy doesn’t make sense, as democracy has mechanisms to ensure 1 person = 1 vote. The internet has no such mechanism. If we did, I’d be all for private voting.

Sounds like those people doing the ostracizing should get moderated if they can’t handle being downvoted. Besides, if a dickhead wants to see the votes today, they can find them - votes are public, Lemmy just doesn’t display them in the UI.

Well, there are other problems too of course, but you can check the rest of the thread for that or check my comment history.
