Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

    My plan was just to assume a new identity every 6 months or so and never post identifiable information. I see how that would be a problem if someone where to use their real identity. In that case, they probably wouldn’t vote at all, that’s not great. Maybe have a separate anonymous account ? And only use your real account for making “statements” including your votes.
