From when I was asking about it, I think it’s only the instance admins that can see the details. It would be nice to have this information clearly outlined somewhere, so people know and aren’t surprised.
Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world
All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.
I’d be curious to take a look once it comes back up
A man went out drinking all night. He came home and before going to sleep he turned off the light. He awoke the next morning and went outside, and there were dead people all around. What happened? Yes or no questions please :) Good luck!
If everyone can see what I upvote, then I’m going to take that into consideration before voting. If it was private, then I wouldn’t worry about it and vote whenever I want to.
Overall this might be a good thing because it exposes bad behaviour, such as downvoting the person who disagrees with you.
This might be a problem if, for example, there’s a post critical of moderators / admins. You might want to upvote it, but worry about getting banned. If your Lemmy profile can be linked to your real identity, you might worry about real world consequences too.
The internet is a messy place and I like my privacy
I think people will feel more comfortable voting if it wasn’t made public. Same reason we add privacy booths during elections, or put our heads down in class when voting on simple things
