It is nowhere explicitly made clear to users that voting is public. It should be made clear if it is going to be

What do you mean by Reddit space?

[–] npdean@lemmy.today 1 points 7 hours ago

I don't want just my votes to be private, though. It should be private for everyone. Why are people not seeing that?

Yes.

I made that comment saying that it doesn't make sense from their point of view.

Also, following me around is not something worthwhile.

It is not the context for this post, people have made it the context. It is the reason for this post.

Yeah, I am ignoring the downvotes for the most part. It is so amusing that people will disregard everything a person has to say because they have one opinion that they don’t like.

How likely is an admin to share something with someone else vs something being already public?

[–] npdean@lemmy.today 4 points 23 hours ago

Thanks! Cool feature.

Admins know but users don’t.

I agree that they track and are shit at privacy. I specifically find it safer because only the company can track me and not the users.

I am okay with votes being public but then it should be made explicitly clear to users.

 

I recently learned that voting on lemmy is not anonymous. Anyone can get information about who has upvoted and downvoted a post or comment.

In combination with your IP, this is a massive privacy (maybe even physical security) risk. Also, people can target you for your votes.

Sadly, this is something where I would prefer Reddit over Lemmy. Big tech scrapes data from both places anyways, at least Reddit is safe.

And omg! I have slept on this feature for so long. I assumed it was just dragging windows to corners and they snap on to the left or right back or top. Then, I installed PopOS and saw an explicit button to turn on windows tiling but I was already using the drag function, so I was confused. I turned it on and omg! I have not felt more stupid and happily surprised by a piece of tech in a while. It just works. I don’t have to be worry about arranging windows a special way for multitasking or for following guides. So much time saved.

How to make the most of it? Have you had a similar experience with something?
