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.
I don’t think that’s necessarily bad. You upvote to indicate your approval of something. Usually people approve things to recommend it to others.
Sometimes I just upvote downvoted things because I think it’s not so bad. Not because I want to recommend it.
Yep… balance voting. Like 90% of my votes on reddit was to balance the vote in one way or the other
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be
