A warrant is still more secure than public access.

Where were you when Greta pulled up with three dozen ships of the line, each with 140 guns to blockade Sweden’s oil port?
With Reddit that data could be kept between the users and admins.
I do not have any insider knowledge regarding whether Reddit has received requests for user data.
Spent fuel can be reprocessed in a modern reactor. Even if that wasn’t possible the storage is extremely safe.
Capitalism causes enough actual problems that you don’t need to make up more. Making your data available to businesses is marginally more secure than publishing it freely.
Corporations have a financial interest in safeguarding your data. It’s not valuable to advertisers if it can be gathered for free.
People enter into contracts with individual entities regularly without expecting that any rando could join at will.
An alias isn’t instant privacy. If you upvote your local sports team, downvote a local politician, etc and never comment anti-establishment sentiments that still builds a profile which could interest someone who has no need to have access to that information.
Kind of a bummer for anti-dictator memes. People might have thought they could maintain anonymity by upvoting without commenting. Better to not engage with it at all.
Yeah anyone can create dummy accounts on an instance.
Being able to doxx someone for their upvotes without even commenting strongly disincentivises engagement with communities that oppose authoritarian governments and such.
When it’s just between the user and admins of their home instance that’s a feasible level of trust. When it’s available to literally anyone that’s a huge jump.
It’s as simple as sharing vote counts but not individual identifiers between instances. Problem solved.
A user doesn’t even have to comment to be doxxed by publicly viewable upvotes. They upvote a post in a community for their local state, then upvote a post about how to get an abortion. The state subpoenas the instance admin and gets their IP and email address.
Developing nations have an easier path to renewables. There is less resistance in building new infrastructure than in modifying existing infrastructure. You don’t have to deal with hundred year old equipment when you start with modern equipment.
