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

Agree. I may be misunderstanding something here, but to view votes one would have to spin up their own instance. This would prevent your average abusive moron from harassing users who down voted their post/comment.

All you need to do is look at the post from a federated instance running software that doesn’t hide the information. Here is a link to your post from my instance, which shows upvote info: https://fedia.io/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/1097629/Lemmy-devs-are-considering-making-all-votes-public-have-your/comment/6869259/favourites

To view down votes, they might need to host their own instance? I don’t know offhand of another software that shows downvote information, but even though Mbin does not show it, I think it should still be accessible if you’re running the instance yourself and looking directly at the database.

Yes, I may be wrong, but spinning up your own instance would also let you see new votes from now on, not votes on old posts. Which makes it even harder for trolls and morons.
