Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

I just hope my app hides them

Already had one person today mention my down votes .

It didn't validate their argument at all and without context it can be interpreted in any fashion to make it seem malicious

Based on the comment, it seems there's more opposition toward visible downvote than upvote, so maybe dev should just make upvote visible and not downvote?

There's more talk about how bad visible downvote is and no one seems to talk about the upvote lol.

They simply want to police it better to suit their agenda

admins and owners of any federated instance can already see votes.

My posts and comments are already exposed, so it seems like it would make sense to make votes public as well. I think it contributes to the general spirit of the platform.
