Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

That just makes me feel like never up/downvoting anything on Lemmy. I think it’s super creepy that the devs and seemingly most people on Lemmy are A-OK with this.
I don’t mind because I don’t care who knows what posts and comments I vote for. I’m more than happy to stand up for what I think and why I think so.
Worst case. I get banned from .ml communities for seeing through the blatant ccp propaganda. No loss there.
Just curious, are you a man? Specifically, are you a white man? Because pretty much every POC and woman I know is far more privacy/safety conscious than damn near every white guy I’ve met who just lives his life with a ho-hum attitude about privacy/security.
If someone never comments in their regional instance but merely upvotes a post or comment, it’s ridiculous that this info should be made public because it can easily lead to someone getting doxxed. It’s so noble of you that you’re more than happy to stand up for what you think, but I really wonder how folks like you would feel if that involved your home address being targeted.
How very American of you. Me disclosing my ethnicity to you would do a lot more on the way of doxxing than any voting pattern ever could. Don’t you think?
How exactly do you imagine “never commenting, but showing votes” might dox someone?
My home adress is not on display here. Imagine if pigs had wings. Imagine living on Mars upside down. And how long is a rope?
You’re definitely a white guy lol, thanks for the laugh. You really can’t see how being a white guy and having the privilege that comes with that isn’t relevant to a discussion about privacy and security, really? Like come on, I’m a POC but as a man, I also am well aware of how ridiculously privileged I am when it comes to being a little careless about my privacy and security.
Never commenting, but only showing votes could result in someone getting doxxed because their up/downvotes could be about regional instances, i.e. their city/state. Why play dumb about what can be used to dox someone? You really think one needs a home address as a starting point to dox someone? Regional plants and their growth stages can be used to dox people who post local photos online without thinking twice about security and while that obviously won’t result in a home address right away, breadcrumbs leave a trail. You clearly just haven’t thought about this much becaaaaaaause… like I said, privileged white guy that can afford to not consider this stuff.
All you have is trying to insult me because you think I’m white. Pathetic. I’m not American. I’m not part of your little race war. Don’t include me in it.
If you never comment, and only vote, it’s not going to doxx you. Your account can be assumed to live in a certain city. That’s it. Please tell me how that is used to dox someone. “Shit they know I live in Frome, I’m done for!”
But now you bringing up posting local pictures. Which is so far from “just voting”. That’s not your voting doxxing you. That’s you posting local pictures doxxing you.
You really didn’t think your argument through did you?
