Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)… What you see
via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black
box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance
admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see.
The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote
tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions. Edit: To clarify,
not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across
the Fediverse.
