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.

    It depends on the ISP, country etc

    I’m in France and almost every time our IP changes it’s because my parents changed our internet subscription, or because moved to another place

        It’s probably bad for privacy, but it makes self hosting super easy
