minus-square@GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.mllinkfedilink2•6 months agoThey did it to mine data about Fediverse users right?
minus-square@infeeeee@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•edit-26 months agoAfaik on lemmy only your host instance knows what you upvote/downvote, instances just sync the number of upvotes, not the users who voted. So they cannot analyze that, even if they spin up a their own lemmy instance l was wrong, see reply Comments are 100% public though, that’s true
minus-square@infeeeee@lemm.eelinkfedilink2•6 months agoI see, so all instance admins can see that theoretically, but regular users can’t. I don’t remember where I read what I wrote, can’t find it now. It’s a bit misleading that lemmy developers themself call votes “essentially anonymous” like in this issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4088 With this in mind I will go back to upvote memes with my other accounts, and switch between them more regularly.
