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

Way cooler than astroturfing.

I value my privacy more than my exposure to astroturfing. Giving up privacy in exchange for more less astroturfing isn’t a sacrifice I’m willing to make but if you are, go for it I guess.

If your privacy is at risk in a place like Lemmy, you might be giving up too much private information IMHO.

Sure sounds like a lot of victim blaming to me. If someone upvoted a post in their city’s regional instance but never commented, it’s insane to me that a) that vote should be publicly viewable and b) people would blame the user.

That’s a fair point, but I still think it’s a very specific case. I believe it would benefit way more than harm the fediverse in general.

Like others have said, maybe do it opt-in, so each instance can choose whether they want to have it or not.
