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

It is different in that the barrier to a user looking at your votes and choosing whatever perception they want is currently much higher.

What barrier? There is no barrier. You see the number and you make a snap judgment. If someone wants to obsessively check my vote count they’re free to waste their time. If they stalk me I block them. I don’t see what this is solving .

This is about seeing what posts you voted on. Like if you upvote a post that someone disagrees with for whatever reason or you downvote someone’s post they could see that and go after you for it. Regardless of why you did it.

Already do this based on people’s comments.
