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.

    @jake_eric I see the opposite. Making votes and especially downvotes private facilitates a kind of micro-harassement by individuals or organized groups.

      I see where you’re coming from, but on the flip side, I think it empowers the bad-faith trolls who have way too much time and energy to get into fights. On Reddit, if I see someone just being a general asshole, I’ll downvote and move on. If that person can see that I’ve done that, I’m not gonna feel as comfortable doing that, lest they retaliate somehow.

      You could turn it around and say that it empowers non-asshole users to fight back as well, but the assholes tend to have more energy to get into fights, that’s part of the reason why they’re being assholes online in the first place.

      I can tell you I’ve absolutely never wished Reddit votes were shared knowledge. Even if it would occasionally be useful information, it’s just not worth it for me.
