I’ve not seen this mentioned anywhere. Might be a warning for some. Favorite/Reduces voting records on this platform are public. This platform requires an email address, at least it did for me. Can’t make a throwaway account as easily here to my knowledge.
Overtime voting records contain a lot of info about a person. If for some reason the two accounts are connected a lot can be learned about a user using this platform. Might be a good idea to use your alt/secret email address if that is a concern.
I see some people using their real names or enough clues that their real identiy can be found out… I hope they realize how transparent this platform is.
I’m imaging some will come here unaware of that fact, think they are just lurking, but still voting never the less. The voting gives info about what they were looking at and their opinion about what they were looking at. No comment is necessary.
Maybe they secretly looked at porn on Reddit an upvoted what they liked. secretly had a history of voting on gore/death subs, . . whatever it was, Reddit allowed that info to be kept between Reddit and the user.
Here that info is a public record. Bots will eventually be used to gobble that info up.
I’m also starting to wonder about the people and servers that are running and maintaining the instances. Have they been vetted? Are we just going on blind faith that they are keeping the user email data secure?
