Why YSK: your upvotes (favorites) and downvotes( reduces) are public information.

If you are browsing through https://kbin.social/ or whatever just click on “more” then activity.

There you’ll see info like boosts, reduces (downvotes), and favorites (upvotes?)

Works with all instances for lemmy or kbin material

    That’s true, it is visible. But this information is public, and anyone who has their own instance also has access to it. The interface is consistent with Mastodon and other platforms where you can view likes and boosts. There are several ways to improve this - completely hide this information in the threads section, hide the activity of users from remote instances, or exclude Lemmy’s instances from the activity… but still… It’s just covering up one’s eyes.

      I think it was a good idea to let us see it. As long as the information is public, anyone should be able to view it.
