This kills the Lemmy.

You know what this feature is really useful for? Seeing who upvotes spammers to preemptively block them. Admittedly, I haven't had much of a use for that aspect since kbin.social died, but it was neat while it lasted.

I think they should focus more on getting rid of bots, and get a little less ban happy on the people that are calling out bots or bullshit.

I'd love to see what mod removed content or banned someone.

absolutely a horrible idea. please for the love of god don't do this, it will only lead to people getting dunked on for how they upvote/downvote.

I dont see the issue letting people see them. They are already public making it more accessible just increases equallity.

Boosting a Lemmy post in Mastodon shows up as an upvote in Lemmy. So the two concepts seem to be coupled in the activitypub substructure. I don't see how upvotes would be secret then, as I don't think it's possible to boost something privately on Mastodon.

Nah I’ll fuck off.

arent they already though?

either way id still shit out my ass

While I don't necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn't save, and I couldn't find it.

I was of the assumption they were private. Please make them private then because I want no one looking at my votes
