    This seems like an odd medium to make that complaint in; while technically lemmy exposes upvotes to other instances, so it’s not really private, the client doesn’t, by default, permit upvotes to be seen.

    Kbin/mbin does expose upvotes; here’s the upvotes on this post, for example:

        Look at all the lurkers, lol.

        I’ve always been curious about who is downvoting my stuff, I know on Reddit I’d occasionally get someone butthurt about my existing on the internet and they’d just go downvote all of my recent posts and comments.

        It is only for admins and mods. Tbh I think it should just be allowed for anyone to see.

      Yes, and… ?

      You don’t eliminate bigoted and hateful ideology by allowing it to fester in the dark. It must be exposed for all to see.

      These two assholes have succinctly summed up the problem: assholes advocating for a white Christofascist ethnostate are emboldened by the lack of consequences that anonymity provides. Musk doesn’t want freedom of speech, he wants freedom from accountability of speech.
