Italy dealt a surprise blow to its banks and sent shockwaves across the sector in Europe by setting a one-off 40% tax on profits reaped from higher interest rates, after reprimanding lenders for failing to reward deposits.
Nah thats also not the Solution anonymity is key. And bots don’t care anyway, and banning people for down voting is not exactly a good behavior either.
Plebiscite, elections of ANY kind (including stuff like Works council or “Sozial wahl”), *
Referendum and even such silly things as Class representatives and Student Representatives. They are all falling under this law.
Die Abgeordneten des Deutschen Bundestages werden in allgemeiner, unmittelbarer, freier, gleicher und geheimer Wahl gewählt. Sie sind Vertreter des ganzen Volkes, an Aufträge und Weisungen nicht gebunden und nur ihrem Gewissen unterworfen.
And before you tell that spammers would create alts too, you can imagine some age or karma (because it exist, even if hidden) before being able to downvote.
Just FYI, they are public, but not exposed. And the information federates. So I could check my server right now to see which users up and down voted.
edit:
Anyone with DB access on any server (that includes my single-user instance), can run this to see who upvoted and downvoted a post (similar queries exist for comments):
This post is 2 Minutes old and has 7 down votes… Ruskibots
Don’t discount fat fingers entirely (:
Normal posts have at max 4 votes after 2 Minuten, so even if they all fat finger, it would be at max 4 down votes without bots ;)
-guy that sorts the all feed by new
Downvotes should be public like on Kbin, that would help with this kind of behaviour

Anonymity comes from your pseudonym. Your behaviours in public are public.
No. Point is that voting is “direct, free, equal and secret” -Art 38 GG (server is German)
Dude what? That’s a law regarding the Bundestag. lmao
No, thats actually regarding any official voting.

Trifft aber nicht nur für die Abgeordneten des Bundestages zu…
With anonymity comes brigading. Different instances might handle this differently
Without anonymity comes surveillance and censorship.
For real civil identities, definitely.
For alts I can create in a whim, not so much.

SELECT public.post_like.score, public.person.name FROM public.post INNER JOIN public.post_like ON public.post.id = public.post_like.post_id INNER JOIN public.person ON public.post_like.person_id = public.person.id WHERE public.post.id = 33297 ORDER BY public.person.name;You could probably also do
public.post.name = 'Italy shocks banks with 40% windfall tax for 2023'to avoid the instance-specific id.Or just disable down votes
That could also work
