Oh lol so even if the Lemmy devs made it private, mbin and others would let you see them anyway?
Also, what is mbin? A kbin fork?
Also rip. I'm really not a fan of public upvotes/downvotes. I think it will lead to people harassing each other. Let's be realistic.
Yes, the underlying protocol does not support private votes. This has been mentioned plenty of times in the thread as well.
Yes it is a kbin fork I believe.
I mean, I'm honestly not convinced it will lead to as many problems as people think it will. But I think we should let each instance decide for itself whether to have it public or not.
Well even if an instance decides to hide it, people on other platforms can still see it? Or do i misunderstand?
Yes, exactly.
Yea then I guess the argument is moot lol. Oh well. Not a fan of it but seems to come with the federation territory.
