Yes by default, but there should be an option to make them public
Make the author of the comment/post see who voted for them.
As I said in another comment in this post - I believe seeing who upvoted or downvoted a post aids in identifying rabid downvoters and bots, though I personally use mobile Lemmy apps and am unable to access that data.
I see absolutely no reason why they shouldn't be
I will always downvote ai shit. Brigade 100%. I'm fact this reminds me I need to get through all the ai subs and downvote everything again.
We need to reveal downvotes so we can identify the ai lovers.
