    What a horrible fucking idea. You are want this place to be an even bigger echo chamber than it already is? Yes, let’s allow the majority of one opinion brigade people’s histories to further ostracized them!

    Admins, for smart people, can be fucking idiots.

      This is why they need to make this change, right now theres a false sense of privacy. If I really wanted to see your votes right now, all I need to do is to set up my own instance.

        That’s not necessarily a false sense of privacy if it works. There’s an inconvenient barrier to searching vote history and if you do it in the current system you’d be recognized as petty at least. Easing access is not going to make Lemmy better.

      The protocol fundamentally exposes them. Absent protocol changes, if someone hasn’t already, sooner or later they’ll just make a website to look them up.

      Votes already are public to all server admins (I can see exactly what you voted for in communities my instance knows about).

      What a horrible fucking idea.

      Do you have a better idea to make it easier to flag bots and government propaganda?

        It’s pretty simple for me. Privacy is a good thing, lack of privacy is a bad thing. Think of the children arguments, which your line of thinking is akin to, is not justification to remove anonymous interactions.
