Piefed currently has anonymous — or more accurately, pseudonymous, voting.
which in my opinion is a great thing. I really think this feature is important.
However, while it works great to hide votes from casual users, the current system is trivially easy to correlate accounts to their voting profiles. Unless they adopt specific behaviours with large friction (ie. not voting on any post or comment you reply to, not voting on any community you participate in). And even then, timestamps of activity and general activity level will probably still be enough.
My question basically is, is there a plan to mitigate this? Possibly through optional features like voting profiles being ephemeral (like you get reassigned a new one every X weeks or posts).
Btw really appreciate you, piefed devs.
Oh I wasn’t aware if it was!
Afaik the feature you mentioned, which voted via an sockpuppet proxy, was replaced with votes that don’t federate.
The change was announced here, see links from there describing why and a poll where people overwhelmingly voted (hehe) to drop the anonymized voting system.
Long press your mouse button on the Up/Downvote Button to choose between local and federated voting.
