      Nah. Then you have insane people who will harass you for downvoting their comment. Almost everything should be private. Hell, the most insane thing about Lemmy is that reports are public to the mods about who sent out a report.

        One of the funniest things I witnessed was some tyrant instance owner breaking rules in other instances’ communities and getting upset when people reported him to himself.

          Both upvotes and downvotes are public, as they have to be federated. I think most instances don’t show downvote users however.
