I recently learned that voting on lemmy is not anonymous. Anyone can get information about who has upvoted and downvoted a post or comment.
In combination with your IP, this is a massive privacy (maybe even physical security) risk. Also, people can target you for your votes.
Sadly, this is something where I would prefer Reddit over Lemmy. Big tech scrapes data from both places anyways, at least Reddit is safe.
And forth we have you downvoting without an explanation (the thing you said was cowardly) after you said:
I have not downvoted you in this thread.
Of course you haven’t. Still not seeing the promised explanation.
One situation where I wouldn’t bother explaining myself is when it’s obvious the other person isn’t actually interested in a conversation, and they’re just there to posture and throw accusations.
You have a great day.
