You know, instance admins can find out who is downvoting and upvoting by checking the database. It doesn't have to be a mystery if you stand up your own instance. You don't even have to use it primarily, just get it federating your comments.

Self-hosting is a pain in the ass, and I do not have the time and dedication for it, as someone who has 100 other things in life. I am no longer even a terminally online person, I just come here to check on the state of Lemmy, put on some helpful comments, moderate privacy and technology communities, and go back to real world after dedicating 15-30 minutes a day to Lemmy.
