Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.
Maybe. There are likely both *bin users who agree and disagree. Even if they all agreed and removed it, though, there isn’t much stopping others from running older versions, patching it back in, or even starting entirely new software that does the same. The fundamental issue, the false privacy of the voting system, remains.
I don’t think Mbin users don’t like it. It increases users interaction and activity, because you can see people who up vote your posts, not only void numbees and even a lurker causes an increase in activity. They shouldn’t change anything.
I think the change would make it accessible to non-admin users
I can already see who gave you a thumbs up using mbin and I am not an admin.
That’s bad and Mbin should change it.
