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.
Nah because if you type in your password it will show as stars.
******* see?

That’s neat. I didn’t know IRC…err… Lemmy did that.
Holy shit I’m old 😳 bash.org was funny back in the day, though
Doesn’t look like stars to me.
Huh. I guess you must have the same password.
That’s because it’s your password. It looks like ******* to me
Unless you’ve changed your password I can see it. It’s hunter2
ILoveBeans42!!
Did it work?
Edit: shit… it didn’t work, how do I change my password??
Looks fine to me. When you type it, you see ILoveBeans42!! because it’s your password, but I just see **************.
Wait a minute…
Whoa… that’s so cool! Thanks Bill!
