If I understand correctly, Kbin users can see what Lemmy users upvote or downvote their post. Is that correct? (feddit.nl)

I stumbled upon this issue on github:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3291

But I didn't know or expect Kbin users can see what Lemmy users upvote or downvote their post. Is this indeed what Kbin users can do?

Every instance of lemmy and every server that speaks the same protocol knows who up/down voted any post. Your votes are public information.

Kinda weird that this isnt sent to the server and only server. Ig it keeps them honest, but if they really wanted to mess with the numbers, bot accounts do exist
