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.

    Which is an education problem and has nothing to do with lemmy.

    It is fucking 2023 if you don’t understand how the internet works by now, it’s out of ignorance and likely has to do with this societal aristocratic attitude towards “techy” subjects.

    It is your responsibility to be informed and to understand the consequences of your actions. We’re finally wakin up a bit :)
