Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say
[Discussion] Should votes be displayed publicly? · Issue #4967 · LemmyNet/lemmy
Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

I don't want votes to be public, but they already are, so.
Someone can easily host a website to leak this information and people should know, instead of believing they are private

Anyone with a kbin account see them by default, no need to create a special website for it

You don't even need an account to see upvotes. Just look it up on an mbin instance
Fedia displays details on up votes but not down. Which is slightly a shame because I'm mildly curious if the single down vote I get on ~70% of my comments is from like one guy I pissed off at some point. At the same time I don't care enough to work around the system, so maybe it works?
"easily" lol. It's orders of magnitude more difficult than just pressing a button on someone's account page. If people really want to jump through those hoops to see them then that's fine. If that becomes a common occurrence then we should look into making votes more private or more public (so at least those site owners couldn't lie about your votes). But now? I think it's fine.
