I never said blocking people is an unreasonable option. That's something you just made up so that you could give your little speech.

I'm pointing out that it's very strange that when I bring up away this is going to obviously be abused pure knee-jerk reaction is to say ' why didn't you just block them' as if it's already happened.

Now to the matter at hand... What is the point of this? Why do users need this information? Every argument for it on the GitHub seems to only apply to things moderators need to know

It matters very little to me if votes are made public. It's not even a top 20 reason I'm a Lemmy user.

Edited for clarity. I should have tea before I post.......

Boosting a Lemmy post in Mastodon shows up as an upvote in Lemmy. So the two concepts seem to be coupled in the activitypub substructure. I don't see how upvotes would be secret then, as I don't think it's possible to boost something privately on Mastodon.
