I don't think privacy is a binary thing that one either has or does not - there are degrees of privacy. Currently what we have is mostly private, requiring either technical skill or admin access to circumvent. This is a pretty high bar which 99% of people would not be able to reach. You're proposing removing the bar entirely because it is not high enough.

piefed is already extremely redditty maintaining behind-the-scenes 'karma' and 'attitude' for users whether they signed up for it or not. why shouldn't this info be public instead of in the hands of admins only?

Oof, I'd rather just stick to Lemmy and let people see my votes rather than deal with karma.

that's kind of the point, other instances are already aggregating and rating your votes given and received, why shouldn't lemmy show this to you?

I liked it being relatively obfuscated. Even though I rarely downvote. But the ones I do are the ones I'd like to avoid. Tbh I'm more ambivalent compared to my thoughts on karma.
