So when Threads decides to federate, they can slurp all this information.
That would be massively concerning and that should be blocked. Ideally votes should remain only on the current instance. Anything shared with other instances should be anonymised. This would need to be re-architected imho.
People come here to get away from Reddit now that trust has gone. Trust and a feeling of safety is vitally important to continue to build this platform.
So if Threads federates to this. It slurps everything. That is very concerning. Most are trying to get away from big tech for privacy reasons.
There is no good reason to share who upvotes a post to another instance. It should be anonymous to anyone other than the original instance.
Be the change you want to see. Share some stuff if you can, and it'll make a difference. Others that are interested in similar stuff join those communities and start sharing and a new community gets kindled :).
Where did the beans idea come from, or was it just looking for any content?
Thanks for explaining btw.

Sending love, fellow human. :)
I think I missed the joke. Can you explain it please :).
This is the quality content I cum here for....
Only the server that you connect to so it can tell you what you voted for. It doesn't have to share who it was linked to. So voting profiles can be separated from posting as it doesn't need to be known.
