A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The privacy stinks you say? Did you know that Likes and Dislikes are public too? That was the most shocking to me. Because it is very much not like Reddit or others.
It's still a fantastic piece of software, with all its flaws, though.
It's impossible to federate these without making them public in this way.
The up-votes are also mapped to favourites in Mastodon etc, so that was always public anyway.
You could argue that this should not be hidden in the Lemmy UI, but there are also good reasons to not highlight that much who voted on a post.
Explains why this obvious issue is not brought up by Mastodon lol
