Bit concerned about the view votes option now available. (literature.cafe)

I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.

You'd think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.

I know admins have long been able to see this data.

Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.

How do you all feel about this?

I'm sorry I haven't been super active on Lemmy and missed much of the conversation around this. I'll go find any relevant discussions too.

You're not a troll, that's why I think you don't understand. I post something that's not controversial and a "who cares?" kind of post. Then, like 10 minutes later, it gets downvoted 12 upvotes in a block. This is a place with like 30 subscribers. I quickly check who's downvoting so much so quickly, with the obvious intent to hide the post. The users who have no other comments, I'll ban them. That community is not for them. If the person seems real, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I don't care about downvotes in general, just the trolling kind.
