Kbin users can see who upvoted their OP and comments. Even if it is an upvote from a Lemmy user. Is it possible to have Voyager show that information as well?
I get what you mean, but it’s one thing to theoretically being able to look it up, and another thing entirely to "promote" it in every app, put development time into it, make it easily visible and encourage people to do so
So many reasons. Number one of which is that this information is troll food. Here’s another: I knew that you could get the info, but like another commenter said, why promote it? If everyone can see my up and downvotes, I’ll just stop up and downvoting things. I know that’s just one person’s point of view, but think of how it can be abused. I don’t need to paint pictures here, your imagination should suffice. It’s fine if the info is technically available to snoopers, but to put it in app is a mistake and will negatively affect the conversation, because polite people will avoid up or downvoting anything to avoid confrontation, and assholes will use it (‘it’ being the knowledge of how a person up or downvoted something) against others. D̶u̶m̶b̶ Bad s̶t̶u̶p̶i̶d̶ silly idea.
Edit- corrected to avoid misconstruing as an ad hominem. I was calling the ‘idea’ of people being able to see this information dumb, not attacking anyone’s character
This got downvoted, but afaik it’s part of Lemmy and all your up and down votes are public.
Everyone should at least be made clearly aware of that, and one way would be to show it in the app.
I agree that I don’t want it, but as long as it’s post of Lemmy, it’s there regardless.
Maybe it can be displayed only on your own use profile to yourself with an explanation that this is public information that can be seen by others if they do X / use kbin.
I would be a proponent of only upvotes that are public, just like Kbin does.
I might in fact switch to Kbin just for that, but Voyager doesn't work with Kbin.
Only upvotes / favorites is what Mastodon uses as well. It's the downvotes of those who don't react that can make a platform toxic. Not because the downvoters intend to, but because the author of the downvoted comment doesn't know why it's downvoted.
