Comment on Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?

If I vote something I’m expressing my opinion just like I would with a comment, and those are not anonymous.
I get that people are worried about griefers and psychos, but anonymity is just a (poor) cure for the symptoms, not for the disease; people who don’t behave should be banned, and if their instance turns out to be a detriment to the community, they should be defederated.
The anonymity we should ensure is the one of the person behind the username, to avoid doxxing and cyber-bullying.

No I’m worried about powertripping mods… That’s the issue.

Why is this so universal?

Because too many mods are power tripping assholes and I say that as someone whose been a mod in various corners of the Internet since at least 2000.
The best mods, and admins, are nearly invisible and as close to drama free as possible.

I am Palestinian and I just got banned from world news ml for saying that some Israeli hostages experienced rape/sexual assault/abuse without “credible evidence”. Somehow the mod equated this with me not giving a fuck about Palestinian prisoners of war.
No my man… I was raped myself as a teen. So to me, all rapes are equal no matter who does it to whom.
