Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.
Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?
Wasn’t part of the reason for anonymous voting and even “blurred” voting so accounts that were shadowbanned wouldn’t know it and go create a new bot account to spam more?
If I remember correctly, another reason was so that bots wouldn’t get usable feedback from voting.
