I really wanted to post this on !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@hexbear.net but I'm not trans myself and I didn't want to take up their space.

Basically, the devs of Lemmy are looking to make upvotes public to everyone. Right now, I believe voter identities are known to server admins and mods.

I don't have a strong opinion on this myself, either for or against, as I write this comment, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing, frankly as a cishet dude.

But also... I've kinda lost trust in Nutomic making decisions about the software that won't make things worse for trans people since his comments on the Olympics were made public. Dessalines has (so far) at least tolerated Nutomic's transphobia despite whatever prior rhetoric. Frankly, I am suspicious that trans people don't matter to the Lemmy dev team...to be charitable...so I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

I'm going to be real with you. I've been able to see all votes on lemmy publicly for years. You should just make them public, because I've been scraping you and collecting statistics on how much you use bots.

Just make them public or I'm the only one who can do this. Your choice. Being helpful for fun here.

    Is that from Fallout or something [Yandexes]. Oh. Oh no. No no this is more like secret admirer behavior. As long as you keep pumping the Fedidb stats I'm okay with it for now.

    There was this weird troll who called themselves the silver legion and claimed they would destroy hexbear or something, we all found it hilarious at the time

    Actually it's very unlikely I am the only one who figured this out. Everyone knows activitypub is buggy and full of amateur devs. It's more likely I'm the only guy sportsmanlike and megalomaniacal enough to admit this.

    Okay then can you guess the insanely obvious pathway I used to make your votes public?
