Edit: I think that this feature is id-walled for kbin users. Which is good, it’s already potentially problematic enough that the entire Lemmy content is fully “crawl-able” without limitation by OpenAI and other less-desirable content crawlers; it would be really problematic if votes were unconditionally public.

It can be viewed without an account might be the url being a problem. But, you can go to kbin and then click "more" then "activity" for any comment or thread to look through what kbin was able to register when it comes to user votes.

I am not running an instance, and am not familiar with the synchronization delay, but this seems unexpectedly long (the downvotes for this post started immediately as I posted it - more than 24 hours ago, so it’s very surprising to see nothing on kbin).

kbin and lemmy has sometimes been problematic when it comes to synchronizing content. Sometimes threads don't even show up on kbin or lemmy if the opposite userbase attempts to make a thread. Same for lemmy and lemmy instances too where some comments will show up and others don't. Even more inconsistencies with how instances will have different defederation lists. This makes votes appear inconsistent from instances to instances and even more so for instances that deactivated downvotes.

Checking it appears that kbin only registers upvotes from kbin and lemmy instances now and only downvotes from kbin users publicly. Wonder if this is a decision kbin made or something was done on lemmy end to keep downvotes of lemmy users from being registered by kbin.

Kbin only shows favorites. They don’t show actual upvotes/downvotes (which is a good thing IMHO).

But it’s not like you would check anything properly before opening your mouth…

No. The reduces tab is what downvotes are registered as. Not all instances are in sync so it records what it can as opposed to only kbin users. That's the nature of decentralization so votes will be different from instance to instance.

Anyways, I downvoted your comment as a example and you should see my username pop up. It's public on kbin.

There was even an amusing situation where a mod went into a users profile and downvoted that users comments and everyone could see it.

Relax and take a breath.

What bots...All votes are public. At least from kbin so there's no conspiracy. You can see who upvoted and who downvoted.

I would miss the ability to multitask by split screening apps or doing floating app with my S23U. I would miss my spen which I use to take quick notes, and then can slot back into the phone which even the iPad Pros can't do. I would miss having a non Safari browser like Firefox and its addons. I would miss the easy access to foss apps like NewPipe, and apps not allowed on the Apple store like tachiyomi, emulators, and torrent clients. I would miss that syncthing type apps don't properly work for syncing across different platforms. I would miss the launcher, since I'm not a fan of Apple launcher and app library aesthetics. I would miss the Android folder system's easy access to everything in there compared to the iPhone. I would miss one hand operation+ method of navigating over Apple gestures.

I would like the long term updates of the iPhone though. Using the iPad though made me never want to get an iPhone.

Once bots are teaching the next generation of people it'll be harder to tell the difference. Muhahaha

Random people holding a camera with one hand while awkwardly trying to record them going through their phone with the other hand has been more useful lot of times for answering questions I had.

I'm not subscribed to anymore phone youtubers anymore for probably that reason. At the height of Android youtube I was subscribed to MKBHD when the tech was fresh exciting, and then subscribed to people doing custom roms or app recommendations.

But, now days when it comes to tech youtubers I prefer ones that at least go through the motions of seeming like they are being objective like Gamers Nexus or Hardware Unboxed or Digital Foundry by putting on a show of testing different configurations and so on. Lot of other tech youtubers just feel more like adverts lot of times with how shallow the presentation is, so whether product is recommended or not feels more like the purpose is to just get the brand out to viewers.

Which becomes really noticeable when they cover a product that you do actually use and watch their review on, and see how much stuff they glossed over with really the main highlight being nice cinematography. Videos aren't even straight to the point and short either, which is really part of why I stopped watching lot of them. If they at least were more straightforward and brief 2-3 minute overviews it'd be fine, but now they all push 10 minutes and over so waste your time.

I'm jealous of the tildes app since I loved reddit is fun.

Blocking the lemmit bot was enough to avoid them for me.

Really refreshing to see Apple fans who have not forgotten they are consumers who have features they want as opposed to accepting whatever decision is made for them.

Other site was a weird mix of people who seemed less Apple consumers and shared more in common with Apple shareholders with the lengths they'd go to defend things from Apple's financial point of view.

Ads I get, but the admob with the "unique device identifiers" is not something I like. That means even people who are willing to pay for a subscription will be exposed to them when they first open the app to purchase the subscription.
