YSK: Your Lemmy activities (e.g. downvotes) are far from private

Jump

  • It’s as simple as sharing vote counts but not individual identifiers between instances. Problem solved.

    A user doesn’t even have to comment to be doxxed by publicly viewable upvotes. They upvote a post in a community for their local state, then upvote a post about how to get an abortion. The state subpoenas the instance admin and gets their IP and email address.

  • You wouldn’t know that your instance is infested with tankies and fascists. You can’t see their posts because you’re on the block list.

  • Why does the person have no problem sharing their address with the DMV but gets upset when their address is leaked publicly? Curious. They claim to value transparency, but oppose doxxing?

  • There’s no need to complicate things by bringing crypto buzzwords into it. It’s already been solved faster, better, and easier just like everything else cryptobros invent a problem for.

  • It’s simple. Just don’t comment or upvote on anything that interests you.

  • Yall remember those “your stripper name is the street you grew up on and your pet’s name” challenges? Literally phishing for password recovery keys.

  • I also was not expecting how Lemmy is different in that way. I was expecting it to be only accessible to the admins of a user’s instance.

  • Downvoting has always been an indicator that you disagree in some way. Whether it’s a disagreement with the substance or format never mattered. You’ll sometimes see people jump through hoops trying to justify how their form of disagreement is the only valid one though.

  • The average user can run their own instance as an admin.

    • It’s morally correct

  • Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
