If you are browsing through https://kbin.social/ or whatever just click on “more” then activity.
There you’ll see info like boosts, reduces (downvotes), and favorites (upvotes?)
Works with all instances for lemmy or kbin material
I didn’t even realize votes are public here. On Reddit I’ve got that shit hidden because it’s extremely personal data. Just through upvote/downvote patterns you can figure out what someone’s likely political beliefs are, how religious they are, what their hobbies are, what disgusts them, what arouses them, what they find offensive…
It’s genuinely insane that this stuff is public at all. I’m probably gonna stop using Lemmy because that shit being public is just way too dangerous imo, and I don’t trust myself enough to not participate if I keep coming back.
If only reddit didn’t commit seppeku, then I’d never have even considered something so poorly thought out.
