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.

Opt in would be far more of a reasonable option .

The problem I see with that is, bad actors only need to make accounts in instances that opted out to keep doing their thing. But yes, I think they’ll choose this option in the end.
