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

The people complaining about privacy have it fucked up imho.

Lemmy wasn't built for privacy. It was built to combat censorship and they are not synonymous. Again, imo hiding any sort of public engagement or impressions is just more censorship.

To simplify my point, were all here to engage with one another, so unless your being an asshole or aren't living up to your own values whatcha gotta hide?

Also, mass bot'ing of votes can critically stifle online discussion. Without visibility what course of action can one take to defend themselves aside from making unverified claims of manipulation.

Lmao, the dev instance is literally one of the most censored places on the internet.
