So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

    I think the idea is to make it easier to detect trolling/spam from certain accounts. But honestly, there’s no reason upvotes and downvotes can’t just be public.

      Maybe; this feels like a “for the children”, or “because terrorists” argument.
      If the whole shebang would be public i would be fine with it, but to me it looks like it will just be a crutch used to justify taking action against dissent.
