  • Thank you for the explanation. I admittedly am a bit cautious about this feature. But I can see how it can be a powerful tool to prevent bullying.

    Hopefully we can trust our admins. But theoretically a bad actor could make an instance that federates with everyone and then takes this info and posts all the vote counts publicly for every post and every comment. And if we don’t know which instance is the one responsible, we wouldn’t be able to defederate from them to stop them from getting this info.

    Not that this feature is the cause of that. Admins could already do this with a db query. And I don’t think there is any way around that without making votes completely uncrackable. Just kind of thinking out loud.
