    Kinda same. I also have an Ubuntu homelab server, but I feel like I use my Steam Deck more often than I spend an occasional 3-day all-nighter to get something working on the server over SSH.

    But my joke premise was obviously flawed anyway. We are supposed to be, but we clearly aren’t.

    And to address your point regarding votes being viewable only by admins, it’s sort of pointless cause anybody can become an admin, just make your own instance. This just makes your statement to be “let only the more technically advanced people see the votes”, which just makes it unfair.

      True, anybody can become an admin, but most people won’t. I think that a slight barrier to viewing vote identities is a good thing, and reducing that barrier to zero would result in more harrasment and unproductive discussion.

        I still think it’s just unfair. You can lookup votes and harass people only IF you know enough about computers. Anybody persistent enough to harass other people will put a little bit of work into being able to look up votes.

        In addition, as we can see, this “semi-privacy” confuses a lot of people. Better that all users KNOW that their votes are visible, instead of them thinking they are private.
