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-think-that I think that removing public likes from X was a good idea.

You think that using X is a good idea then, if you're positively reacting to patch notes for it. I find you viscerally disgusting. Stay on your shit site full of racists so you can enjoy being a public clown if you must. But it makes you opinion completely worthless to me and indicates you don't know how to spend your time.
