Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

      I guess, but it’s less “I don’t know” and more “it’s not knowable” from the screenshot alone. We need to see more of the schema to answer the question. “I don’t know” fails to communicate what would be needed to answer the question, it’s an okay answer, but I think mine is more useful.
