But also keep in mind, anyone can look at your profile and see what you have boosted.

So there's a privacy issue with boosting threads/comments.

For example, https://kbin.social/u/tryplot/boosts

I can see you boosted a thread about Biden and Assisted Deaths

    Where votes are labeled “favourites” :)

    In a way I like that this is all openly public vs just the devs and admins being able to see it. Either way somebody was going to pay attention but now it’s obvious to users.
