Honestly, I wondered about this... I should look more into that. I'm fine with my own upvotes/downvotes being public on this account - i probably wouldn't want the same on a work or NSFW account, and can understand why it'd be an issue on personal accounts for some. A necessary evil for federation.

Honestly, the main thing for me is retaining the ability to downvote disinformation, bad faith arguments, and excessively offtopic/low quality contributions to a community. Definitely not an issue at Lemmys current size, it'd be a massive issue as it grew.

Very good points and I agree with the need to downvote in case of disinfo/offtopic/etc.

Looking forward to see how this all develops.

I pretty much upvote anything I see unless it's one of the bad points you mentioned, and a funny side effect is that I can see what I haven't read yet because it hasn't been upvoted/downvoted.
