Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

    This sounds a lot like “not my problem.” I am familiar with this type of response, but usually this level of irresponsible indifference comes from those evil VC backed companies.

    If this is the attitude of the devs, I am deleting all my glowing recommendations of lemmy on other sites.

    Is this really the attitude of the devs?

      I suppose if you ignore the part where I said the problem doesn’t actually exist (IPs are not included in federated content) then It can look like a not my problem response.

      I wonder if you will also delete the FUD and misinformation you posted on this thread.
