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?
And they will also be needed to distinguish votes by spammers and bots
All lemmy users will have to host a cache of the entire fediverse and run their own content sorting algorithm. Moderation and voting will be subscription based
This is something that we could leave up to the admins and their tools to figure out rather than making everyone’s voting history public.
