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.
Not post, upvote. I find it interesting that you like Asian Babes (obviously you don’t, it’s just some information you wouldn’t expect to be public or shared).
All the more reason to keep a different alt for each area of interest.
Ah yes, because the practical option is to be constantly switching accounts and instances based on what you want to look at for 5 minutes each.
OK so let’s tell the regular user “hey come to lemmy, but don’t forget to keep multiple accounts because here everyone can spy on you”
That’s not a good message
