Lemmy instance admin snooping at votes - eviltoast

So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

    Why not allow anyone to see the votes? Anyone already can by using kbin or spinning up their own instance.

      I think there is an assumption that is rooted in how reddit worked, that votes are anonymous. People operating under that assumption might not like having that blanket ripped off. It would be different if it was up front from the start.
