Lemmy devs are looking to make votes public. Thoughts? (github.com)

I really wanted to post this on !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@hexbear.net but I'm not trans myself and I didn't want to take up their space.

Basically, the devs of Lemmy are looking to make upvotes public to everyone. Right now, I believe voter identities are known to server admins and mods.

I don't have a strong opinion on this myself, either for or against, as I write this comment, but I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing, frankly as a cishet dude.

But also... I've kinda lost trust in Nutomic making decisions about the software that won't make things worse for trans people since his comments on the Olympics were made public. Dessalines has (so far) at least tolerated Nutomic's transphobia despite whatever prior rhetoric. Frankly, I am suspicious that trans people don't matter to the Lemmy dev team...to be charitable...so I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

I'm going to be real with you. I've been able to see all votes on lemmy publicly for years. You should just make them public, because I've been scraping you and collecting statistics on how much you use bots.

Just make them public or I'm the only one who can do this. Your choice. Being helpful for fun here.

Actually it's very unlikely I am the only one who figured this out. Everyone knows activitypub is buggy and full of amateur devs. It's more likely I'm the only guy sportsmanlike and megalomaniacal enough to admit this.

megalomaniacal

Nerds find one exploit on a website and think they're God

Okay then can you guess the insanely obvious pathway I used to make your votes public?

Can you guess the insanely obvious pathway I shove my dildo in to make myself cum?

I literally want everyone else to share my vision. I will never "quit while I am ahead"!

Don't be cringe. You found a funny bug, just enjoy it.
