Kbin/mbin already surfaces votes, third party apps can easily show them as well. This is an intrinsic behavior of activitypub and people should know how easy it is to expose that data.

We don't surface downvotes. I find no issue with surfacing upvotes. If someone would want to snoop through every comment looking for some upvote from a specific user, that unfortunate victim would've gotten some other and easier harassment directed at them from that someone anyway.

We've opened up issues on other services many months ago about retaining user vote privacy, because lemmy users overwhelmingly don't want their votes snooped on.
