I've tried several clients now, and unlike Reddit clients I cannot locate any of the posts/comments I've upvoted in the past? Is that a bug/feature of the platform?

So someone can actually see all the weird shit I’ve upvoted? Oopsie

All the admins with database access can, yes.

This is the fediverse, everything has to be public and auditable otherwise vote manipulation would be easy.

If you want to really be anonymous, your best bet is to use multiple accounts on multiple instances. If you upvote sketchy stuff, use the anonymous account, and otherwise, use your regular more public account.

Yeah I know. I’m just goofing.

You have a nice taste, wink wink.

I assume admins can see it, and there should be a record of it because stumbling across an old post you upvoted still shows that you upvoted it
