Haha true ^^
But it's already possible. If you review this OP on a Kbin instance, you'll see who upvoted the comment with most upvotes.
Not integrating it means you give the impression to users it's not public information. But it is public.

That’s actually a fair point

IMO the principle of voting is that it's anonymous. I don't think that I should be exposed to whoever up voted or downvoted my posts.
This would create unnecessary tension.
what if you downvote someones posts and then they start bullying you? yes you can block them but this would be encouraging that to happen.

This got downvoted, but afaik it’s part of Lemmy and all your up and down votes are public.
Everyone should at least be made clearly aware of that, and one way would be to show it in the app.
I agree that I don’t want it, but as long as it’s post of Lemmy, it’s there regardless.
Maybe it can be displayed only on your own use profile to yourself with an explanation that this is public information that can be seen by others if they do X / use kbin.
I would be a proponent of only upvotes that are public, just like Kbin does.
I might in fact switch to Kbin just for that, but Voyager doesn't work with Kbin.
Only upvotes / favorites is what Mastodon uses as well. It's the downvotes of those who don't react that can make a platform toxic. Not because the downvoters intend to, but because the author of the downvoted comment doesn't know why it's downvoted.
