Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

Idk if I trust that some powermod won't send me to hell if I vote against something they strongly believe in, akwardtheturtle style

FYI: admins and people on other platforms can already see votes.

For instance: check your comment over at Fedia.io to see who upvoted you.

Downvotes seem to be hidden by default (but they may be visible for logged in users?). Instance admins can also see votes already, and thanks to the power of the Fediverse, anyone with the ability to follow instructions online can be an instance admin.

Naw. Downvotes are invisible by default here on fedia, but we can see upvotes. Just gotta check the page for them.

I gotta say, I've known this for a while, and the lack of downvote transparency has always frustrated me in the moment, but looking back it's probably for the best. I would not have used it in a positive way.

Mods of communities can already see votes in communities they moderate. Admins of instances can already see votes on all content.

I moderate a few communities, ~~and I don't believe this is the case.~~

Edit: It would appear that I am a little behind the times...

I think that's because your instance hasn't updated to Lemmy versions that add this yet.

[–] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ah thanks, that would make sense.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee -1 points 3 weeks ago

Already happening
