Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous (programming.dev)

Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

It would be nice if we could upvote interesting posts rather that posts that we agree with.

Isn't that what upvotes are supposed to be for? Just not how people actually use them...
