Besides it’s a very important question for our privacy, I suspect some of my comments getting downvoted at set periods of time from other accounts. I don’t understand how the fediverse work and what I’m asking is who has vote logs? Who I can ask, if a bot, like on reddit, got dedicated to downvote every post from one user. How to avoid vote brigading on here? Can it be automated?

I’m not pissed and I do know I post literal shit sometimes. It’s just I’m wondering, if our fedieverse have machanics against that.

    If you can see DMs between 2 e.g. sh.itjust.works users that’s very worrying, but if you can only see messages where one participant is registered on your instance, that’s just natural.

    Other than that, I think vote information should only be visible to

    • the instance’s admins where the user is registered
    • the community’s mods (and in turn the admins of it’s instance) where the reaction has taken place,
      and not to any and all instance admin who is federating with your instance.

      I strongly disagree with a community’s mods being able to see user vote information. As a mod, I can’t even see the names of subscribers, and I like it that way. I don’t want responsibility for user’s privacy, or I’d host my own instance and put the community there.
