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

Yeah - dont upvote laydyboys unless you want all to know you like them. Its a sign you shouldnt do it.

Also all books you lend from the library should be public knowledge. No hiding!!

Terrible analogy. You can consume the post without anyone knowing. Voting is more akin to signing the guestbook.

Meh, that’s rather just “I was here” or “I read this”. Voting is more like “I liked/disliked this book”.

You can also keep that opinion to yourself when reading a book from a library. Voting in this case is like signing that you like/dislike it in the back cover

It wasn’t an analogy- just an equally great idea.

So you would say they’re comparable then? Maybe even analogous?

I mean, nice strawman but what was more happening was you were telling your friend you liked ladyboys, and then your friend ran outside and told anyone and everyone who would listen that you liked ladyboys.

The only real change here is the Lemmy UI would stop lying to you about votes being private, because they never were.

This. Unironically.

There is no such thing as privacy in the public internet. There never was. I take it as a given that if some loser decides to look me up they will dig even my IRC chat logs from some server I used to connect almost 30 years ago.

Anything you do in the public internet, you need to ready to own it publicly. If you want/need real privacy, this is the wrong place to be.
