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.

    This just sounds like Reddit account karma score all over again? But with a percentage displayed instead of total.

      Reddit karma is how others feel about what you say. Piefed’s attitude is how you feel about what other people say.

      Slightly different but i see your point.
