    Off the top of my head,

    Since votes on Lemmy aren't private, anyone can view them. Piefed added anonymized votes (iirc, by sending them from a shadow user with a username that was a hash of the actual voters username), this raised concerns, as vote spam could be harder to spot/stop, so it was removed.

    That got built and implemented before that problem was realized and removed? Damn.

    Even so, if the system is tracking votes as reputation, how were the anonymous votes actually tracked? That hash either hid the user or it didn't.
