Not very.

Which is fine with me

imho:

1. public, just not shown in ui
2. would bother me if shown near the comment/post, since that would change the meaning of the vote: on lemmy only the total is shown there, sometime I do things like upvoting a comment I don’t fully agree with because that “aggregate” is too low in my opinion (or the opposite of that), which make sense only if just the total is shown.

Fully public

Better question? Do votes ultimately matter? Some instances show who voted, some don’t, some don’t even count downvotes. So in the end, who cares?

There are private things on the internet?

Not at all.

zero private.

I didn’t know that administrators or moderators could see the votes. So they can’t be considered completely private.

About 10 years ago I decided that the only way I could proceed forward in life is to automatically assume I’m being watched and listened to always. This has nothing to do with paranoia and everything to do with the nature of tech ownership and capitalism.

I realize they aren’t private and don’t care.

I vote on such a small minority of things that those few things I do vote on, I have no problem with people knowing it was me.

I assume there’s no privacy whatsoever, and I wouldn’t believe anyone who told me otherwise.

In my opinion this isn’t that big of a problem since it’s fairly hard to look at and discern

You are like one LLM prompt away from a website that makes it fairly easy to look at and discern so that’s not really a valid argument

I don’t worry about that. I have no expectation that up/downvotes be not tied to my username.
