I really wanted to post this on [email protected] 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.

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

I'm not going to destroy Hexbear. This came from the same place as creating an RSS feed that aggregates all comments on Lemmy websites. I just don't feel like sharing solutions after I offer them the first time and get rebuked.
