    You can anonymise those votes with a hash if your data is structured to need a username for a key value. Use the username as a salt if you must. However the Lemmy API has plenty of metadata to prove a human account that is not a username. Creation date, how many previous comments, if they’re banned from another connected instanxe. This isn’t about mod tooling or APIs this is about anonymity and privacy.

    There’s no need for a fediverse wide running tally of upcotes for a comment on Lemmy

    I vote for no upvote or downvotes, why build a token for a false economy like the upvote at Reddit or the note at Tumblr or the like on Facebook.

    Endorphin buttons are not good for anyone.

      You don’t want “chug bleach to cure coronavirus” content being on the same level as actual intelligent discourse

            Ah. Smug and disingenuous. Nice to know you didn’t read my comment and posted your opinion anyways.

              I read your comment.

              This is what I replied to.

              Funny that you’re downvoting my comment though :3

              I guess huffing Windex might be giving you short term memory issues

                Your argument is about content moderation not upvotes or downvotes. There is bleach chugging on reddit, likes promote bleach posts on Facebook. Notes on Tumblr are often used to silence or discredit dissent and argument.

                What you are wanting is content moderation. Upvotes and down votes are just number go up or down.

                I was mistaken my issue with you isn’t your literacy it’s your reading comprehension.

                Stay smug tho.

                  So you expect mods to just read everything ever written in here and then arbitrarily delete things?

                  You should lay off the dish soap.

                    Shhhh shhhh now. I know, it’s hard.

                    I didn’t say anything about moderators I was talking about moderation. Not who does what or how it’s done. See that’s your job. Intelligent conversation, maybe you’ve seen it modeled somewhere before. I’ll explain it regardless because I don’t think you understood it. Intelligent conversation is when people share ideas, or concepts. Someone says something and then the other person, either supports or refutes it with logic.

                    Back to moderation vs upvotes. Try to think of what a good solution would be, and then describe it. With details and logic. That’s how the adults in the room like to talk.

                    You’re just shitposting. Maybe looking for someone, anyone to talk to. You have a weird fixation on cleaning products. Maybe try to talk about other more relatable things. Or you know the topic at hand, that could help.
