  Please be aware that votes are already public, they just aren’t shown in the UI. Other apps than Lemmy show the votes.

    I know. But don’t you have to be an instance asmin to see them? Or can anyone do it? I feel like most people have no idea how to do it? Seems like a change if everyone can easily do it.

      On Lemmy, only admins and mods can see them. But on many other fediverse apps, like Mbin for instance, the votes are public to anyone. For instance, here’s the votes for my comment you replied to as seen from Mbin: kbin.melroy.org/m/…/favourites

        Oh lol so even if the Lemmy devs made it private, mbin and others would let you see them anyway?

        Also, what is mbin? A kbin fork?

        Also rip. I’m really not a fan of public upvotes/downvotes. I think it will lead to people harassing each other. Let’s be realistic.
