also can we get a score card on how are posts are doing?

    If you want your upvotes/downvotes to actually be private, create a seperate account that only votes and never comments/posts.

        Former Redditors are used to upvotes/downvotes being private by default.

        But this really depends on the user. Most reasons for this would be privacy related reasons.

        • Some users vote differently knowing that their votes are public. If they want to vote freely they would consider an option like this.

        • To combat profiling from others/corporations.

        • To avoid certain users that take downvotes way too seriously.

      Do you have info on this? Can mods or admins see who votes what?

        As I understand it, because we’re using a federated system the only way to keep track of votes at all is if one instance tells another “such and such a user up voted this post”. Whether or not a user interface surfaces that information so mods or admins see it is a separate question, but the data is there, so a safe assumption that whatever you vote on will be accessible to others.

                That might be a setting specific to that instance. With other kbin instances it is possible to see reduces (or at least you have been able to do so in the past).

                Maybe there’s been a recent update to all kbin instances so that the reduces tab is no longer clickable?

                  It hasn’t been possible for quite a while.

                  I’m not aware of a single one that currently allows it. Do you know of one?

                    I’m fairly certain that I checked it out on Kbin.Social about a month or two back and it still worked then, but Kbin.Social is currently down for maintenance, so I’m not sure.

                    How long ago is “quite a while”?

        I believe some of the apps lets anyone see who has up-/downvoted you and if I’m not mistaken on kbin you can see that as well.
