You're not going to believe this, but I think they simply can't look up an address at this point. I was shocked to find out, seems like that is kind of job 1 for a map program.
I seem to recall them saying "if we lose, we're all going to jail."
It would be wrong to disappoint them.

Zero. Upvotes are a show of appreciation and I don't see why anyone would want that to be private. When it comes to downvotes, if you wouldn't want someone to know you downvoted something, you can't stand by that decision and so shouldn't have downvoted in the first place. Public reactions (alongside the self moderation features) keeps the fediverse honest and prevents the hostile type of downvote spamming you see on other platforms like reddit.
@futzle I don't know if this is a convincing argument or anything, but I do have a relevant anecdote.
The one time I've ever found malware on my computer was 15-20 years ago. The CPU was overactive, and I found a worm running as `guest` that was trying to break into other accounts (by guessing passwords).
Several years prior, I had created an account `guest` with password `guest` so that my roommate could use the computer if needed (don't recall exactly why). It was only much later, after having forgotten about this, that I had installed an ssh server.
That has stuck with me as an example of how two relatively innocuous actions can combine to cause a vulnerability.
@varx Yes, it’s a good reminder that you don’t combine probabilities in this area p*q, but (1-(1-p)*(1-q)).

Personally, I don’t care too much about my votes being public. I vote very thoughtfully and try to upvote posts and comments that add to the community and I downvote misinformation.
But, I think people should be able to choose. I do think there are many valid reason for them to be private.
@notasnek Don’t say I didn’t warn you

Ok, it’s true: you warned me… but not about the boredom… had to cancel out after 5 minutes… life is too short to listen to this sh*t… 🤯

@ascentale @bikenite A8. Finally sold another one of the bikes I fixed up. Took forever. So, N-1.
… where N >> 1

@fullywoolly i don't know if this project deserves any luck or goodwill, considering that it sucks, but i will intercept it and refuse to allow it to reach the project itself, so thank you
@billyjoebowers @ascentale @bikenite I haven't figured out how to look up an address. Copy/paste address in... It can't find it. Unclear to me what the system is. I'm a freaking software engineering person and I don't understand it, so I am suspecting it's built by someone from another culture, and it's like reverse-polish-notation, lol.

They have finally called the race to fill noted crazy person Nancy Mace’s House seat down here. It went to the Democrat, Nancy Lacore, a retired admiral Pete Hegseth drove out of the Navy last year.
