Question I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on possibly making votes public. This has been discussed in a lot of other issues, but here's a dedicated one for discussion. Positives Could help figh...
![[Discussion] Should votes be displayed publicly? · Issue #4967 · LemmyNet/lemmy](https://lemdro.id/pictrs/image/74e684cd-6eb1-4ea0-80db-ef9d1b17a46f.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
You're viewing a single thread.
What will this accomplish other than facilitate brigading?
It is information provided to the instance runners, mods, and other fedeverse platforms such as mastodon. It inherently tracks such to know if a user has previously liked/up voted an entry.
So you may have a conversation on here, and some users will know who is downvoting, some will only know who's upcoming, and some will know none
I think part of the motive is to make brigading harder (show if users or bots are colluding to vote things up or down)
It will also strengthen the hive mind, exponentially.
