    Hmm it’s an interesting way to handle it but it should be easy to correlate users and the voting profile by just examining voting patterns. It doesn’t really fix it entirely I would say.

      I was going to edit my previous comment but I’ll just put it here.

      I understand your point, but I’m saying that private/public is not a binary concept. It’s a spectrum, and making votes visible on the Lemmy UI shifts the position much closer to the public side. It will have a noticeable effect on people’s behavior.

      But I agree that it’s probably possible to correlate the voting profiles in theory. Could potentially be prevented by randomizing the profile for each vote maybe.
