Comment on Private voting has been added to PieFed
lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 4 weeks agoWith the user id being salted it’s going to be different every time. This means it’ll be difficult if not impossible to monitor voting trends or abuse.
Also how would you use the password unless it was stored in the clear. If it’s based on a pre-salted tuple, how does one handle password changes?

Dammit! Okay, cancel the salt idea. How about just a simple md5() and then it should remain a static value right?

Let me change my password real quick…

Just add a function so when you change your profile, it also pulls all records that match md5(userid, password) and then update them records too.
Though I’m convinced the overarching logic is correct, this is not my wheelhouse, so I’m probably wrong.

You’d need to federate that, and I don’t think AP allows you to change federated user IDs.
