What it definitely does is prevent you from verifying vote results and specific votes. While people selling votes will (in our day) just make a photo and send it to their buyer.

If by “other things” you mean violence against those voting “wrong” - yes, that’s a problem. When you invent a way to have a verified anonymous vote, let me know.

My comment is a specific application, and your comment is “no u wrong”.

To allow easier falsifications.

The users right now may fall into a false sense of privacy when voting because the votes are hidden from Lemmy users.

Why would you even want anonymous votes but not anonymous comments?

The former is as good\bad as the latter.

I know they were already technically public. I think they should be shown.
