Not only admins can see the votes, but anyone on Fediverse (except regular Lemmy users) can see them.

Security through obscurity is prone to failure when it is used by itself. If people want their votes to actually be private then another method of securing their privacy should be created.

I completely agree with the idea of more accountability. We are real people in acting public right here, we should be constantly aware that our actions have consequences. If you don't want your pseudonym associated with a vote, don't do it. It's kinda like the opposite of 4chan, where instand of anonymous controversial content on top, here we have human-curated content being pushed up.

What it the instance signs the activity? Then it propagates to others instances after local validation. That way only local admins would have access to voting data. Malicious instances could still be defederated/blocked/have votes disregarded.

Currently, almost anyone in the Fediverse can see Lemmys votes. Lemmy admins can see votes, as well as mods. Only regular Lemmy users can't. Should the Lemmy devs create a way to make the votes anonymous?

There is a discussion going on right now considering "making the Lemmy votes public" but I think that premisse is just wrong. The votes are public already, they're just hidden from Lemmy users. Anyone from a kbin/mbin/fedia instance can check out the votes if they are so inclined.

The users right now may fall into a false sense of privacy when voting because the votes are hidden from Lemmy users. If you want to vote something and not show up on the vote list, please create another account to support that type of content and don't tell anyone.

All federated data (thus public) should be easily available to the end user. Otherwise we create a false sense of security.

It would be best to try every single one separately, otherwise you'll have dozens of programs that do the exact same thing, like file explorers.

That said, with Fedora you can list available desktop environments using the default package manager, dnf. In a terminal use the dnf group list command to list all available desktop environments:

dnf group list --available *desktop

Install the required desktop environment using the dnf install command. Ensure to prefix with the @ sign, for example:

dnf install @kde-desktop-environment

After trying the DE, you can remove it with:

dnf remove @kde-desktop-environment

Vote brigading matters. If you're subscribed to a 'controversial' community and every post gets downvoted to oblivion, you and other subscribers who sort by 'hot/top' won't see the post unless they go directly to the community.

This slowly kills the community, even if its users are active on Lemmy.

What can we do to prevent this? There aren't that many of us, and posts being hidden can really hinder our discussions.

Looks really similar to Araucaria angustifolia's fruit

I had success with iodine, it's slow but it worked.

Fun fact: acrobatics are made with lower hydration dough.

If you want dough with crispy outside and soft inside you're looking for a 65-70% hydration. Acrobatics with this will rip it apart. To open a higher hydration dough you use this technique: https://youtu.be/xzbW8CZx538

They pushed this change with the always online dev kit. I believe the price change is a smoke screen for the other changes. Soon they might step back on this decision.

Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p.

What would be the up/downsides?

It doesn't seem the ToS supports your claim. Can you provide a link?

Seems they may ask to use the meeting data if you record or livestream, but not otherwise. So not equally bad.

If you don't want CloudFlare, it's also possible to spin your own tunnel over DNS with iodine.
