      You mentioned accountability

      not really. but yes i believe your online profile, as vague as that term is, can and should remain distinct from your irl personal info. what your account has up or down voted on activitypub is a far cry from being personal info

        Can you see how easily one can use that logic to basically be as abusive as they want online and be A-OK with their online account being held accountable as long as it doesn’t actually impact their personal life?

          it’s a bit slippery slopey but yes i suppose so. if your downvoting sprees amount to being abusive as the admins or mods define it then on their terms your account should be banned, ip banned, whatever. i don’t think there’s any voting based behaviour that gets you in irl trouble, obviously posts inciting violence, sending credible threats or other behaviour that gets you noticed by your regional authorities is another kettle of fish, but none of that seems relevant to up/downvotes being visible
