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?

Thanks! I'm for mass adoption and want admins to succeed. That starts with keeping users educated (and admins covered).
