Question I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on possibly making votes public. This has been discussed in a lot of other issues, but here's a dedicated one for discussion. Positives Could help figh...
Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
Excuses are only that, especially if your instance has already implemented robust server rules against harassment.
I think the real sign of toxicity is weighting (perceived) anonymity over accountability for your actions on any platform. I’ll vote for transparency any day.
Nice cherrypicking. Don’t get a bellyache from that fine harvest.
Edit for context: as I wrote elsewhere, “Anybody using the fediverse is ensured pseudonymity already, the privacy issue should be whether your account(s) can be linked to your real life identity against your will.”
I’m perfectly happy with being accountable for what I say and do within our pseudonymous community here. Our bad faith friend above doesn’t get to pull his infantile whataboutism, sorries.
not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info
Can you see how easily one can use that logic to basically be as abusive as they want online and be A-OK with their online account being held accountable as long as it doesn’t actually impact their personal life?
No, as it would create a lot of excuses for targeted harrassment and just increase toxicity

Nice dodging. Here’s hoping you get doxxed someday, I think that would be hilarious.
the vote history of your lemmy account is visible
vs
your real name and address are exposed
how the fuck are these things similar
You mentioned accountability. Do you believe that only extends to an online profile?
