Actually Iβve been thinking about this more and Iβve changed my mind. If someone really wants to figure out who voted, they probably still can. It just makes it a bit harder, not impossible.
Say user X makes a post in a dead community and gets a comment from user Y. Then user X upvotes that comment. Now the comment has only two votes. One is from Y themselves and the other is almost certainly from X. The chances would be even higher if X replies to that comment too.
Or imagine a situation where user X and user Z are arguing and start downvoting each other. Depending on how new the comments are and how active the post is, itβs still possible to connect the downvotes to their real accounts
Which is why I now think the only real way to make voting private is to generate a completely new voting account for every single vote. That would make it impossible to trace the votes back to the user across posts/comments.
If the accounts aren't randomized, which I think weren't, then yes, this is possible to do. If the voting timestamps are also recorded, then it is as easy as checking the oldest vote in a comment/post. To make it harder for someone to associate your voting account with your actual account, you would either need to:
- collect votes and send in randomized order (I think a minimum of 3 votes is good)
- create a new voting account on each vote
- disable voting your own comment/post
I think the best would be creating a new voting account on each vote, but that would kill moderation.

Correct. Removed piefed. Thanks.

Mbin can also be used for microblogging.
2 of my cousins and my sister did.
Unfortunate how less people think of privacy these days.

I watched Attack on Titan season 1 a few years ago, I found it boring at the time so I didn't continue. I might continue someday.
