It so happens that I had a discussion with someone about this very issue on the kbin codeberg some months ago, starting with this comment here:

But while I've also gone back and forth on the question, I've basically settled on the view that public downvoting encourages _responsible _downvoting, and the risks associated with downvotes being public are exaggerated given how much else of one's activity is public anyway.
