I woke up today, to a public comment in a Lemmy community asking a series of tagged accounts why they had downvoted certain posts

I thought that reactions to posts and comments are anonymous and now I don’t really know what to feel about Lemmy any more.

In this case I had downvoted a poster because of its design, but was confronted publicly for being racist because the person assumed that I downvoted the message on the poster

EDIT: changed the title from “How” to “Why” because it broke rule nr 5 about it being a support question

    ActivityPub is public by design and admins can easily read DMs. Not sure about it Joe public can read any dm.

      Admins of most services where data aren’t encrypted can read data that is not public so I’d assume that by default.

      Now my question specifically is about “Joe public”.
