Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

Votes are already public. This isn't a change

Yeah. Just look from a kbin instance, or if you host your own instance, ~~you can run a Postgres query to find them~~ there's a dropdown in the web interface to see who voted on a post/comment.

How are votes public? Someone’s been carpet-bombing my comments lately. I’d love to know who it is.

Chaotic good admins are my favorite kind of admins. 👍

Servers can see who voted on what, even if the vote is on another server.

So if you view the vote from a server that makes the views public (like a kbin server) or you run your own Lemmy server, then you can see it.

The easiest way to to take a look through a kbin/mbin instance, which exposes the vote information through the interface for everyone. The harder but equally valid way is to run your own Lemmy instance. Other instances will tell yours exactly who voted for what, and as an admin, you even get an option on Lemmy's web interface to see it.
