Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

    It also discourages people from upvoting more controversial topics, for better or for worse.

    I just hope it doesn’t turn into Twitter’s culture of ruining people’s lives by showing they liked a sus tweet 5 years ago, LMAO.
