Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.

[muhyb@programming.dev]

Though you cannot see votes coming from a blocked instance.

[deceptichum@quokk.au]

He can see me upvote people wanting to kill him.

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

I think all reactions should be exposed.

[korhaka@sopuli.xyz]

I will save him the effort. I happily upvote things that contain the words Luigi and Elon.

[julielemming@lemm.ee]

You just need to make a new account every couple of months

[xnx@slrpnk.net]

Piefed upvotes are private though

[idkwhatusernametoputherelolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

I'm probably ending up in a concentration camp anyways, might as well vent while I can...

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Yeah idk why ppl dont like this, id prefer ppl lurk and not vote if they dont do it with their chest

[dil@is.hardlywork.ing]

Well end up with so many alternatives that access the threadiverse differently, some that mask your upvotes/downvotes somehow, some that are open about it and block those that mask them lol, fractured community

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

It's also the herd reaction. It may be enough to have a couple of bots downvote or upvote something, and then the crowd goes after them.

Not even talking about, say, someone being pissed and going to other user's profile to downvote all their recent comments.

It's just useful to see such things - one-day-old accounts putting reactions, and one and the same user following you to press their internet satisfaction arrow.

In any case anonymous reactions just don't make any sense, it's a number, what if most in that number are jerks? (Actually they are, I can't imagine stooping low enough to care to put a downvote, but not writing why).

[wilco@lemm.ee]

Because that word combination just makes sense.
