So I was going through /all and this admin is snooping at vote counts for posts in his instance and then posting it publicly.

Just a reminder that these kind of petty people exist. Pick a trustworthy instance or better yet, host your own.

    Wut? The data is already public. Why only allow the bad guys to access it and not everyone?

    Everything you do online will be used against you unless you do so anonymously. This isn’t a Lemmy problem. Its only specific to Lemmy if we as a community dont inform each other of the risks and encourage safe data hygienic practices

      The data is already public.

      A descriptive statement.

      Why only allow the bad guys to access it and not everyone?

      Why assume that’s the only option? We can also strive to improve Lemmy, as it is (allegedly) run for the users and not for corporate anti-privacy interests.
