Bit concerned about the view votes option now available.

Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to !meta@lemmy.ml.
I agree that it's good to let users know that their votes are public, but I think it would be better to just tell them that (kind of like how Mastodon says "heads up, DMs are not encrypted") and not by also giving them easy access to that information. Simply because if it's easier for more people to do, then more people will be tempted to do it.
I definitely agree that downvotes should be reconsidered entirely. It's basically outsourcing moderation duties to the users, not to mention that people will always incorrectly use it as a "disagree" button.
