Lemmy instance admin snooping at votes (monero.town)

So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

Please do this. Its really not an issue.

The solution is simply to use anonymous accounts and change them frequently. This should be more publicized as normal lemmmy data hygene

    Wut? The data is already public. Why only allow the bad guys to access it and not everyone?

    Everything you do online will be used against you unless you do so anonymously. This isn't a Lemmy problem. Its only specific to Lemmy if we as a community dont inform each other of the risks and encourage safe data hygienic practices
