I recently learned that voting on lemmy is not anonymous. Anyone can get information about who has upvoted and downvoted a post or comment.
In combination with your IP, this is a massive privacy (maybe even physical security) risk. Also, people can target you for your votes.
Sadly, this is something where I would prefer Reddit over Lemmy. Big tech scrapes data from both places anyways, at least Reddit is safe.
?
They want you to know that they downvoted you
Ohh, what a mature take lol.

I see, why don’t you post your full name and social security number? Take real accountability for your actions.
This is a stupid take. My point was never that voting should be changed from public to private now. My point is that if it is public, make it explicitly known that it is.

I am saying it should be made clear. I never said that it not specified anywhere and I can drag them to court for it.

I don’t want to be anonymous. I want to know that I am not anonymous.
