Bit concerned about the view votes option now available. (literature.cafe)

I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.

You'd think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.

I know admins have long been able to see this data.

Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.

How do you all feel about this?

I'm sorry I haven't been super active on Lemmy and missed much of the conversation around this. I'll go find any relevant discussions too.

It was already public to anybody willing to put in the work and extract the data.

Making things easier can have consequences.

So that makes it alright?
