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.

    You want your employer to know that you’re playing karma games when you’re on the clock? They are time stamped.

      The public-ness of that data is sketch to me, but also cannot imagine using this platform in any way that could be linked to my real life.

      Jokes on you. My employer knows I only work 4 hours of my 8 hour shift
