One of the advantages of votes being public is that it keeps instance owners honest and, perhaps more importantly, means they know other instance owners are honest.
If they weren’t public it would be easy to modify your lemmy instance to send 10 votes with fake hashes for every real vote. There would be constant accusations of brigading and faking votes.

Reddit; Charging for the API essentially killing almost all 3rd party apps.
The secret is they made it easy to bypass, the API still works if you moderate any subreddit, even if it’s one you just made. They made it just difficult enough to move the 99% of normie users to their own app.

- Comment on Retail giant Monsoon's CEO calls on UK to scrap tax loopholes benefitting Shein 1 week ago:
Trump postponed the removal of the de minimis exemption. I assume because someone managed to tell him it would cause a complete standstill at customs with how much paperwork it will cause. People were facing $35 paperwork charges on $1 packages. It would also cripple American R&D since it relies heavily on getting part samples from China.

- Comment on What really happens inside a dating app. 2 weeks ago:
Also, retention is a terrible metric for a dating app. The “perfect” dating app would have a 0% retention rate since the first person you meet would be your “ideal partner”.
It’s tantamount to measuring a hospital’s performance by it’s retention rate.
