On every thread or post, if you click on more and activity, you’ll get the info.

I personally find this to be a good things, I’ve seen people using downvote way too easily. I like the idea that we need to be somehow accountable for those mechanism.

edit: It could be somehow improved to have an option to let this info only available between concerned users.

edit edit: I think that up/downvote info shouldn’t be public, but kept private between the users involved. we need to address this privacy issue.

    Its fediverse. The only way to verify upvotes and downvotes and limit them to 1 per user is for there to be a record. The only way to avoid that situation is to not Federate upvotes/downvotes.

    Being concerned about boosts is literally a misunderstanding of what a boost is. The purpose of a boost is to mimic retweet functionality. It’s to share that same thing with all of your followers. It would serve no purpose if it weren’t public.

    One platform can hide them, but others would still be able to see them so someone with bad intentions could still just look it up somewhere else

      Ah, yeah. That makes me want the ability to undo a boost or have a confirmation for boosts even more.

        you can undo a boost by clicking on it a seconde time, no? and you’ll have a confirmation with the term boost being underscored
