Former House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry says the crypto industry "had an opportunity to legislate". Could've sworn that was Congress's job.
@molly0xfff Congress? Legislate? When?

ATOMIC CAKE INCIDENT AT 80
“…it still seems utterly shocking to me that an atomic explosion, containing thousands of incinerated human bodies, should be represented…by a gruesome concoction put together by pastry cooks.” – Rev. A. Powell Davies in a letter dated 11/12/1946.
“We intended the cake as something to eat.” – Lyman K. Stephens, baker, quoted in TIME, 11/18/1946.

@arstechnica Whoaaaa... hey!! What's the big hurry all of the sudden???
Let's not go rushing in to blindly adopt all this fancy new-fangled tech.
Color monitors might confuse people! =P

Me personally I would say that private votes are better if possible. But you should be able to filter when you’re logged in what you upvoted and downvoted. That’s how I would like it ideally.

They’re not private at all, I’ve never been under the illusion that they were.
I like it, have some guts, stand on business. If people want to downvote they should be willing to attach their name to it, internet points are fake anyway.

They are not, it’s akin to shouting in the rain. Most people will be inside not getting wet, but there people that either like the rain, or get paid to stand in it
The lemmy vote viewer is quite limited but I suspect that there are are a few servers that have spun there own DB queries and charting:

Lemvotes shows votes. So, it’s not private.

Data has to federate, so nothing is going to really be private like you mention. I think it’s unreasonable to expect anything otherwise. I don’t see a point to hiding votes because of this. If someone starts stalking or harassing their voters for some reason, have a reporting system and handle that.

How private do you consider your votes in the Threadiverse?
From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.
My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?
For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.
@ai6yr @EugestShirley @Dougfir
They should do what a lot of homes on the NC coast do: put the house high up on stilts, with only the carport or maybe a small guest-room at ground-level.
Of course, that won't do much if there's heavy debris in a storm, but it does give you a lot more margin when the flooding is gentle.
(I'm also imagining coastal towns of the future with elevated roadways and gondola-lift transit...)
