Maybe I’m oversensitive? We all know our votes here are public record, but to me it seems like weird, obsessive, and unhealthy behavior.

It definitely is a red flag for me to the point where I wonder if I shouldn’t just outright block people who go around making it known it’s something the participate in.

Its also a liability to allow people, companies and governments to track people across the platforms and target them for the posts they up or down voted. Its a poorly conceived solution.

    It has to if you want federated servers. You spin up a server, it needs to know everything it subscribes to.

    There is no solution, because it is not a problem. That's just the nature of a federated system.

    If I walk in the park, I risk people taking pictures of me. That's the thing about parks, they're public open spaces. The only solution is to stay home.
