Apologies if this is the wrong comm, I’m not Matrix verified so probably can’t post in !hexbear@hexbear.net
Just thought I should mention this before admins end up doing the upgrade. Most federated instances, including lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad have already upgraded by now.
I gota be honest. I’m surprised a removeddit doesn’t exist yet for Lemmy. Or at least that I know of.
The decentralized nature of federation might make it simultaneously harder and easier. I wonder if instance admins can see deleted posts/comments from other instances since those deletions and edits have to federate.
How long til lemmy votes look like Facebook where you can see who liked a post/comment?
As other users have already pointed out, it’s this way even before the update if you create your own federated instance since admins can already see this
RIP again to all the people who upvote as a way of marking as read
Also a federated non-Lemmy software can also see all votes, and can choose whether to display them or not. Votes have never been private and never can be. They’re just hidden away.
If any common user wants to see them, they can set up their own server (thus becoming the admin) and pull in any federated content they want to see the details of.
This is true, although with Hexbear specifically, you might have to get approval to federate
I upvoted this thread. Just so the mods know :^)

You can see that the Hexbear admin already posted on this update. Also Mods being able to see user upvotes is not new. I think this update only adds a new feature which allows mods to view votes in a different way. Your votes are not a secret. Lemmy is not a battle bots.
Votes aren’t secret, but allowing community mods, not just admins, being able to see them is new
Didn’t we already have this?
Admins could, now mods can for the comms they moderate
Lemmy
aw crap
Huh
Couldn’t they do that already?
As far as I understand: admins yes, mods no
