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: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.
I downvoted the beans and I don’t care who knows about it. I’d do it again.
This is useful to know though, thanks. I guess assume everything is public short of your password (unless your admin is particularly nefarious and has altered the code to store passwords in plaintext for some reason).
Probably safer to assume your password is public to
Its not, all passwords are salted and hashed
Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.
******* see?

Doesn’t look like stars to me.
That’s because it’s your password. It looks like ******* to me
It worked! It might not look like stars to you because it’s your password.
That’s neat. I didn’t know IRC…err… Lemmy did that.
