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.

    That’s cool but I think the votes are more trustworthy (in any voting system) if all people feel comfortable voting without some sort of retaliation. Maybe there could be a toggle and you can see who voted that doesn’t mind the vote being public.
