Interesting difference from Reddit: Upvotes/Downvotes are not anonymous
Hey folks! Just realized something that makes Lemmy different from Reddit. Because of the federation, your votes are not technically anonymous on Lemmy. At least, I think.
Although there’s no UI to look at a user’s voting history yet, one could conceivably be built by an instance. Perhaps coincidentally, I hear there’s instances out there populated by mostly bots?

In fact, Reddit has suspended people for upvoting before.
True, but in Unidan's defense, it was a jackdaw, not a crow.
We need Unidan back now more than ever 🤗🐦⬛
Multidan.
You're kidding surely. That's actually awful. Any source for this? Would love to read more about it.
Not from normal upvoting, but vote manipulation like was mentioned above with unidan. Basically using multiple accounts to upvote your own post for visibility.
