That is stupid and defeats the point and makes me rethink my decision to support piefed.

Bummer.

It depends what your threat model is. Admins being dickheads about who downvoted what was the main issue at the time so I made it about choosing which admins to trust.

If future Lemmy versions show votes to mods (not just admins) then Pandora's box would be well and truly open so we'd need to rethink this.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I guess for me I don't really trust any admins. At the end of the day that's a permanent database of user activity which could be passed along to anyone, so ideally the minimum threat surface would be that it exists only on the home instance.

Also, I kind of just don't get the point of obfuscating for some and not others unless there are some politics going on behind the scenes, which just gives me even more cause for concern. I think this is a killer feature for piefed and really addresses a major concern I have with Lemmy so it is just disheartening to hear that the functionality has been nerfed for seemingly no good reason.

I hear ya. There was quite a bit of back-and-forth about it and we ended up with a compromise. It would be good to have more configurability of this to suit different preferences.

There's a niche out there for a max-privacy instance. No server logs, no email verification, automatic deletion of old content. And if it was running PieFed, no trusted instances set.

Not a niche I want to pursue but someone could.
