In order to read gmails, you have to work at google.

In order to read the upvotes on this post, all you have to do is spin up your own lemmy instance. Anyone with technical knowledge can do it. The problem is a bit different. I could do it, if I was motivated.

If lemmy gets popular enough, there will be 3rd party sites with search bars and nice UIs and graphs to help you see how someone votes.

Not sure what the solution is. Maybe if we can’t make votes private, they should be fully public.
