Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous (programming.dev)

Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

When us older folks say "Anything you put on the public internet should be considered public and recorded forever", it's because of that.
