You can usually use another instance that shows names if you have an account there, it’ll show at least the federated stuff.

Exactly, that’s why I said for ones that aren’t cached. They can be cached, but it’s not a guarantee they will be.

And it wouldn’t be caught quickly or maybe even ever if they opted to use hashes instead of just showing who voted and when.

Mods can already see voting data, at least through the API on the latest version of Lemmy.

I know, it’s a really big problem here and on the Fediverse in general because people get so outraged and entitled over something that just is the way things are, this wouldn’t work any other way.

Except ActivityPub data is by in large already not private, it is handed out to any tom dick and harry who run a server and have subscribed to actors on this one, and most of the time, it doesn’t even really require extra authorization. That is fundamentally how ActivityPub and federation work, but you can’t have any expectation of privacy in this system when it comes to the content shared. Expecting it to be private because it’s labeled is as dumb as expecting your website not to get scraped because you said so in robots.txt.

It’s not good practice. Really one shouldn’t be assuming anything is private or some entitlement to privacy on a service where all content you post is made publicly available to any and all linked instances. They miss the point of a federated public forum. If one wants privacy, data must be kept locally only. That’s why Lemmy has local-only communities, the “private” community aspect that many people want just won’t be federated, because you can’t make something like this private otherwise.

That’s almost as bad as using robots.txt to claim sites are private and secure and just whining that people/bots should respect it.

You should assume voter data is fully public and fully open. It otherwise is in the federated ecosystem.

If image embeds aren’t cached by your server they can be abused to gain IP, but that’s a hack, it’s not intended.

The whole concept of the Fediverse as social media is that all the data is public. Stop acting like these servers are giving out private data. This data has never been private, and it never will be. Data like this being shared with any other server is how ActivityPub and the Fediverse work.

you can, names are shown in other frontends like phtn.app.

Maybe temporarily, but certainly not anymore considering dragonfucker was able to reply in this thread and start this whole new wave of drama.

The alt? Absolutely. Dragonfucker’s main isn’t though. Which I find kind of crazy because of how much dragonfucker has done and then add this. That would be a permaban from most instances.

Agreed, I wish Lemmy.world’s admins felt that way though. They’ll probably let dragonfucker get away with this forever. Even though it is very clear that these accounts are alts of dragonfucker, or very closely connected either way. And from what I can tell incitement of harassment from your friends is still just as bannable as doing it via alts. At least it absolutely should be.

I was able to contact him about it and he said he gave dragonfucker a warning and told him to stop, he said he wasn’t going to ban dragonfucker yet because then dragonfucker would just make another account. He also was in the spam defense channel when I posted about the latest harassment campaign against me. It’s really ugly. He and others there are almost certain it’s an alt of dragonfucker. Though obviously without internal data from feddit.rocks we won’t be able to prove that, and might not be able to anyway.

You’re right. I did send him a message on Matrix and via Lemmy DMs I hope he responds soon and isn’t deliberately allowing this type of shit.

Same to you, do not reply to me anymore. I’ve asked you before and you still replied to me now. Good day.

Admin seems to be still active, I mean he last posted 19 minutes ago, and he upgraded to 0.19.8 which is semi-recent. So I think it’s fair to say he’s still active. Maybe is just unaware.

You aren’t a troll because you are trans, you are a troll because you make bad faith arguments, spread misinformation, harass people, and encourage others to commit suicide. I haven’t forgotten about your abusive tirade against me either, no matter how much you try to deny it.

Make no mistake, you are being called a troll for this:

And there’s way more where these came from, your modlog is a gift that keeps on giving.

Funny enough despite what you might claim, none of these have anything to do with being trans. You’re trying to pass any criticism of your behavior off as transphobic to try and discredit the people who are criticizing you. This is called a smear tactic, it is a common bad faith argument meant to deflect criticism. In this this case you are accusing anyone who criticizes you of being transphobic in hopes of discrediting or silencing them. This is not going to work here though because as is evident, the accusations of trolling being levied against you happen to have nothing to do with transness.
