Votes being public is a lemmy specific issue

I don’t understand
It is a solution but it is a solution to a problem which should not exist.
It is okay to have public votes but it should be made clear to the users. Instagram and others allow you to see who has liked easily (next to the like button), so everyone knows it is public. Lemmy does not let me see who voted easily and it being a reddit alternative further makes it seem anonymous.
I took it up with a mod. They said it is public information. That is how I learned about it. Mods won’t do shit if they favor the abuser.
I am a coward for having a different opinion and then putting it on display after being called out about it?
Admins can have IPs. What do you mean "you don’t"?
Every IP has a geolocation.
Yeah, if I put in my name and address when commenting
You underestimate how much information we leak through just using the Internet.
The thing is they make it extremely clear that votes are public by letting you see who voted right next to the button.
Lemmy hides this feature and most users don’t know about it.
