So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.
Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

Oh good, Lemmy had no privacy. Not like that ability isn’t going to be abused.
Either make it public right from the start everyone sees everything. Or make this crap not possible.
You’re going to get echo chambers that start witch hunts. Someone is going to dox someone because they don’t like how someone votes… Yadda yadda someone gets swatted or someone just shows up… Then someone’s going to start cheering “We did it Lemmy!”…
Honestly at least with Reddit you had one single evil entity that would abuse their power and trust of users.
That’s an interesting point. One company, like Reddit, might see human beings as nothing more than content mills, but that created incentives to be a little private at least.
Lemmy servers are run by anybody, including Facebook, and you don’t even have to accept someone else’s server rules for your data to transfer onto it. The process occurs passively.
