Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

There are a lot of arguments about social pressuring users into voting a certain way. But not having votes public also leads to a lot of vote manipulation. Especially from the Hasbro's.

Lemmy is a lot like the early days of the internet right now. Very easy to abuse and mostly running on users not doing so. Bot accounts will start being a bigger and bigger issue with the growth and Lemmy so there needs to be a way to combat this.

Votes are also already not private as many users said. Just by running an instance one can see all the votes.

I think votes should be displayed publicly at the bottom of the comments section for each post. Make people stand by their convictions.

Why not try it, then remove the feature if it turns out toxic?
