I think it has a lot of value. I don't really see the point of anonymous upvotes in the first place.

For myself, I've already just assumed this stuff is public. I don't know why I'd assume it was private, in fact. I have a few different accounts and I use them for different things, but anything I want to keep off the public internet doesn't go on the public internet, on Lemmy or Reddit or Facebook or anywhere. It's 2023, I think most people have some understanding of this already. Threatening to out data I already assumed no privacy on is not terribly threatening.

I think that's kind of a weird way to see it. For the most part the fediverse will likely be a large group of general purpose instances that eschew a few assholes on the fringes.

Right now we're facing issues because people are turning up their noses at the idea of wanting to eschew assholes on the fringes.

Generally true but I will say, there's a concerning amount of astroturfing going around on eg. sh.itjust.works about how iMporTanT it iS to let tHe hatErs sPeaK. The place seems to be going full 'nazi bar' very quickly. It doesn't matter how tankie the original devs are, we still need to be wary of our spaces. If there's one thing the alt right has proven effective at out of all their massive incompetences, it's turning social spaces online into shit holes.
