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.

    Hi! I’m just jumping in here to say that this is the first time I’ve seen a full rainbow thread of discussion on Lemmy and this is amazing. Thank you for this quality discussion!

      Honestly wasn’t expecting this discussion to be this way, or go on this long, but I’m glad I could be the cause of a full rainbow at least!
