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.

im just praying for the day the lemmy devs decide to ditch the tree view and embrace chaos

I blame the tree view for the reason why Lemmy threads have performance issues relative to old school forum threads and why you can only see a max number of comments. There's a max number of comments you can see per sorting, so by sorting new and old, you can see double the max number of comments, but there's still a max number.

I mean phpbb threads are sorted by new and there's usually also a limit to the number of posts you can see at a time. They're both views into a database, lemmy just lets you sort the posts differently
