You can see who upvoted and downvoted a post by viewing it in friendica.
-
Yeah. It's kind of lame how they can see it but we don't.
There should be an update that allows users to choose for themselves whether than can see the exact numbers.
-
They should be.
-
It’s in lemmy but only available to instance admins
-
I wish I could see what scummy lemm.ee mods removed my comments and got me banned
-
Hashing exists for this use case
-
you can, names are shown in other frontends like phtn.app.
-
The whole concept of the Fediverse as social media is that all the data is public. Stop acting like these servers are giving out private data.
-
Thanks but doesn't work if you're site-banned.
-
If image embeds aren't cached by your server they can be abused to gain IP, but that's a hack, it's not intended.
-
You can set a Lemmy server to proxy image requests
-
It's way easier to notice and defed when you can see these fake usernames
-
this is an icky issue because lemmy sends votes with empty addressing, so remote instances should count them but not show them to anyone. however mastodon (and *key) sends likes with empty addressing too, but considers them public. lemmy is (surprisingly) right here and should request that the rest of fedi respects the protocol and hides stuff based on its addressing. maybe open issues on mastodon and friendica
also this issue probably exists when seeing lemmy posts on any microblogging instance
-
You are NOT supposed to downvote things that "aren't really interesting", you are actively ruining other people's user experience on here by doing that as downvoted posts get less visibility.
-
Which is a problem
-
There are plenty of ways to handle double voting without plaintext user strings. The fact that it's done this way is just lazy and poor design and doesn't actually so anything to prevent a rogue instance from vote spamming with fake users.
-
That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.
-
But it also has to be defended separately by the admin of every server that has a user subbed to that community. Seems like a large burden to put on small-mid instance admins.
I'd be surprised if my server admin was really paying attention that closely to votes on communities I'm subbed to, right?
I have to admit I don't know the view that admins get of how their server intersects the fediverse. -
I don't think everybody knows that and at least here on Lemmy, it doesn't show it by default like friendica. The fediverse doesn't necessarily mean that all data has to be public. It's just that it's way harder to have a sense of truth without public data.
-
This is nothing new. Fire up any ActivityPub server and you can see everything over the wire. As a Lemmy admin of my server of just me, I can also see it in the UI.
-
I know, but some people assume votes are private.
