Question I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on possibly making votes public. This has been discussed in a lot of other issues, but here's a dedicated one for discussion. Positives Could help figh...
Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
Well, there definitely aren’t any dislikes. But you’re right with the “Like Activity”. I missed that, but it’s in the standard. It doesn’t really define what to do with it, though. The standard has a “likes” and a “shares” collection. It stops there. The rest of our voting system isn’t part of the ActivityPub standard. (And that’s also why i missed the likes, because I searched for the word “vote”.)
No, as I said, there are Likes and Dislikes. You can see the Dislike object in the standard here. ActivityPub is composed of various different standards that all come together to form a federation system.
Likes are defined as being added to the Liked collection, which is essentially votes. It’s all just what you call a vote or a like, it’s just semantics. It is definitely part of the standard.
That is not possible. The underlying protocol, ActivityPub does not have a concept of private votes. This is not up to Lemmy to decide.
Yeah, I think the ActivityPub standard doesn’t have a concept of votes at all. They’re not defined in the first place.
No it definitely does, it has Likes and Dislikes. Lemmy uses those for votes.

Ah, thank you very much. Now I get it. It’s part of the ActivityStreams.
