Question I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on possibly making votes public. This has been discussed in a lot of other issues, but here's a dedicated one for discussion. Positives Could help figh...
Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
Like, what’s the actual user experience gain from seeing someone else’s votes? Is it just so the average joe can profile users, like for identifying bots or whatever? That’s not rhetorical, I’m genuinely curious, as I don’t see what I’d gain from this as a Lemmy user.
Bit as I see it, I really have no desire to do this. Maybe if I was a a pseudo mod on a spammy community I guess? But comments are already a decent indicator.
Sir Elon Epstein Musk already removed the ability to see likes… I wonder what his motive was… 🫤
My answer is yes to the original question. I speak with my votes, my comments, and my engagements. If I wanted to be separated in anyway from this I would just use an alt. Hell though, I even gave up on having a porn alt on twitter and I just own it if I like something. 🤷♂️
What’s the benefit?

Yeah, I’ll be honest, never have I took a look at somebody’s likes on Twitter or Mastodon.

He removed the ability to see likes made by some profile on the profile page itself.
