Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous (programming.dev)

Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.

Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

Not a stupid question at all!

Lemmy and Kbin are two different systems that talk to each other. Like how Gmail and Outlook are two different systems, but you can still send emails between them.

So you can make posts over there on Kbin and I can upvote them from over here on Lemmy.

Make sense?
