This got downvoted, but afaik it’s part of Lemmy and all your up and down votes are public.
Everyone should at least be made clearly aware of that, and one way would be to show it in the app.
I agree that I don’t want it, but as long as it’s post of Lemmy, it’s there regardless.
Maybe it can be displayed only on your own use profile to yourself with an explanation that this is public information that can be seen by others if they do X / use kbin.
I would be a proponent of only upvotes that are public, just like Kbin does.
I might in fact switch to Kbin just for that, but Voyager doesn't work with Kbin.
Only upvotes / favorites is what Mastodon uses as well. It's the downvotes of those who don't react that can make a platform toxic. Not because the downvoters intend to, but because the author of the downvoted comment doesn't know why it's downvoted.
