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

  I value my privacy more than my exposure to astroturfing. Giving up privacy in exchange for more less astroturfing isn’t a sacrifice I’m willing to make but if you are, go for it I guess.

    If your privacy is at risk in a place like Lemmy, you might be giving away too much private information IMHO.

      Sure sounds like a lot of victim blaming to me. If someone upvoted a post in their city’s regional instance but never commented, it’s insane to me that a) that vote should be publicly viewable and b) people would blame the user.

        That’s a fair point, but I still thin it’s a very specific case. I believe it would benefit way more than harm the fediverse in general.

        Like others have said, maybe do it opt-in, so each instance can choose whether to have it or not.
