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.

People have to like my posts enough to want to stamp their names publically by voting them? Gonna find out who's brave enough to be seen upbearing autistic nerd shit.

Works fine on Mastodon and Twitter. Turns out nobody cares. I will proudly like more autistic nerd shit than ever. Anyone who publicly polices this stuff without having botting to point to will look insane.

Can't speak for Mastodon, but until recently on Twitter, when they hid all likes, it was the source of a lot of insane drama and "this you?" call out posts

Whatever you say Elon. I see who is afraid of the votes getting made public now in this thread 😂
