this is an icky issue because lemmy sends votes with empty addressing, so remote instances should count them but not show them to anyone. however mastodon (and *key) sends likes with empty addressing too, but considers them public. lemmy is (surprisingly) right here and should request that the rest of fedi respects the protocol and hides stuff based on its addressing. maybe open issues on mastodon and friendica

also this issue probably exists when seeing lemmy posts on any microblogging instance

I was thinking that it would make sense to federate upvotes, but with the hash of your username instead of your actual handle. Would this work?

How long until it gets abused, and trolls start brigading though instances that hide their votes?

I wish I could see what scummy lemm.ee mods removed my comments and got me banned
