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.

    At least lemmy shows votes as seperate upvotes and downvotes, do you can see that someone agrees. (But please dont vote based on if you agree, only downvote misinformation, attempts to incite flamewars, spam. If its high quality an on topic don’t downvote)
