Bit concerned about the view votes option now available. (literature.cafe)

I mod a few communities and I can now see who has upvoted or downvoted any comment or post in the community.

You'd think any mod would like that data being available to find any issue user. But I feel like invasive with this.

I know admins have long been able to see this data.

Also its not like its personally information, just your screen name associated with your own activity, as your posts and comments are. But the passive act of voting is now very public which is a bit icky to me.

How do you all feel about this?

I'm sorry I haven't been super active on Lemmy and missed much of the conversation around this. I'll go find any relevant discussions too.

Yeah I mod like 10 communities and I feel wrong doing it. Dont think I'll ever be checking that again.

Entirely up to you.

For larger communities, its a must, since people use no-content accounts or bot accounts to mass up or downvote content.

Would you say 3k subscribers and 1k monthly users is a big amount?

I genuinely dont know what to classify as big
