I know, public votes, that's how Lemmy and the Fediverse work.

It bothers me a little though.

Oh I think I see the misunderstanding, thanks for your answer!

I had no specific technology or even "social media in my mind at all when writing my first post. Instead I tried to convey my personal preference on the scale "absolute transparency" to "absolute privacy" for the specific case of "seeing who votes in which direction from user about users".

I completely agree with your statement "don't treat it differently because of underlying tech decisions".

For me the answer to the privacy question depends on the specific use case (and who provides/ controls it).

And to answer your question: I only try to describe "my" wishes, not how I think fedi developers see the situation.
