So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

It's a fundamental property of the federated system. The devs need to acknowledge it the same way you need to acknowledge that people can lie. It's a fact, there is no easy way around it and everyone knows it.

They could always federate an aggregate statistic instead of one that discourages involvement. Then we could acknowledge both federation and the lie!
