Just keep in mind: your upvotes on Lemmy are visible to anybody who runs a Lemmy instance.

God help us if Elon Musk figures out how to run one.

I'm probably ending up in a concentration camp anyways, might as well vent while I can... ๐Ÿ™ƒ

I will save him the effort. I happily upvote things that contain the words Luigi and Elon.

Or just open the thread on an mbin instance. Here's everyone that upvoted this thread.

Edit: Downvotes (reduces) are less exposed, but as you said, someone can just run a fedi instance that exposes them to everyone.

Piefed upvotes are private though

[โ€“] rottingleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I think all reactions should be exposed.

He can see me upvote people wanting to kill him.

You just need to make a new account every couple of months

Though you cannot see votes coming from a blocked instance. (If your instance ever blocked another instance. Not valid for self hosted.)
