votings never private when someone can spin up a friendica instance and see it all, or since its activityhub anyone could make an app exclusively to see downvoters.

    It's private because there are essentially two of you, and your vote is the anonymous you.

    "PieFed accounts now have two profiles within them - one used for posting content and another (with no name, profile photo or bio, etc) for voting. PieFed federates content using the main profile most of the time but when sending votes to Mbin and Lemmy it uses the anonymous profile. The anonymous profile cannot be associated with its controlling account ..."

    I bet it would be fairly easy to match comments with upvotes/downvotes and get a pretty good idea of who's 'anonymous' accounts are pretty quickly.

    I rarely down vote, but when I do, I don't leave a comment. I can't be the only one.

    Yeah but I bet you upvote or downvote other comments in the thread around the same time you make comments.

    That activity would make an educated guess pretty easy.

    Interesting. It would probably also depend on the number of other people downvoting and commenting. Also this assumes that someone consistently downvotes and comments on one post.
