Why YSK: your upvotes (favorites) and downvotes( reduces) are public information.

If you are browsing through https://kbin.social/ or whatever just click on “more” then activity.

There you’ll see info like boosts, reduces (downvotes), and favorites (upvotes?)

Works with all instances for lemmy or kbin material

    Is it the same for Lemmy?

    Or for Kbin users when they visit Lemmy?

        I think the same, but it won’t be fixed since that’s how activitypub works: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3291

        Kbin dev said it won’t fix this as it wouldn’t be easy (one user proposed to hide votes for Kbin when posts and comments come from Lemmy): https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/3

        The problem here is how Kbin handles the information obtained from Lemmy, I guess one way to solve this could be to block interoperability between Lemmy and Kbin.

        That’s interesting, I didn’t know it, it could also be a bit dangerous for toxic users.

          indeed. I dont thing this is sane. At least should be optional
