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.
Thx a lot. I had never noticed this feature.
I will not remove all up/downvote a I think it’s worth being able to upvote useful/enriching comment (like yours) but know I have an option to consider and explore: could I remove just the displayed total of upvotes/downvotes (that part I really don’t care about) and maybe the ‘Attitude’ stats displayed under my profile. Thx again :)
The score is just the first 4 lines, up to (and including) the first closing curly bracket.
I’m afraid the Attitude and Reputation on the profile page can’t be handled this way (with CSS) as they’re not in some sort of container. You’d need to write a feature request and have that changed in PieFed’s program code.
Once again, thank you very much. I just did that it’s working nice :)
For anyone curious, here is what it looks like now:
