MODERATORS
Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.
God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.
ETA: I mention this because the current government wants to find anyone who does this.
Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.
Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.
Piefed upvotes are private though
Only for untrusted instances iirc.
I just tried to check this by looking at one of rimu's (piefed's dev) posts and indeed I can see upvotes by piefed.social users from kbin.earth. They're real usernames too, not just randomly generated ones like I've seen proposed in one discussion on private voting.
I will save him the effort. I happily upvote things that contain the words Luigi and Elon.
Because that word combination just makes sense.
I'm probably ending up in a concentration camp anyways, might as well vent while I can... ๐
Though you cannot see votes coming from a blocked instance. (If your instance ever blocked another instance. Not valid for self hosted.)
You just need to make a new account every couple of months
