FYI this will be fixed in Lemmy 0.17
how will the fix work?
Likes were previously marked as public in federation messages. This obviously didnt make sense, so now they are marked as private.
I just checked, and it is still possible to determine who has liked/disliked a specific comment or post in 0.17 by running a database query.
It is not something that I personally have a problem with - I suspect this might be a “necessary evil” to prevent double voting. And I would think that this is the default for any site with voting.
Yes with Activitypub federation you generally have to trust server admins with the data they handle (similar with private messages). Though I suppose it would be possible for communities to anonymize votes when announcing them to followers, then only the admin of the community’s instance could see who voted.
