Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 weeks agoThis 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.

Right but we don’t need to give them the tools to do it even more.

What tools are we giving them?

The post is about giving everyone the ability to see how everyone else votes on individual posts/comments. For instance if you downvoted this I would be able to look it up somehow and see it was you as opposed to it being anonymous. I don’t care if I get downvoted but there’s a lot of wackjobs on the internet who might use that as a reason to harass someone.
