Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: Obligatory RIP my inbox.

    Can’t wait until someone unleashes an AI dox bot on the world:

    “Dear applicant, we regret to inform you that your application has been denied. After reviewing your resume and public social media, our AIDoxBot has determined that there is a 98.4% chance you also are [email protected], and your tendency to downvote interracial porn does not fit with our company’s efforts to improve diversity and inclusion. Have a nice day.”
