Nah thats also not the Solution anonymity is key. And bots don't care anyway, and banning people for down voting is not exactly a good behavior either.

Anonymity comes from your pseudonym. Your behaviours in public are public.

No. Point is that voting is "direct, free, equal and secret" -Art 38 GG (server is German)

Dude what? That's a law regarding the Bundestag. lmao

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, thats actually regarding any official voting.

Plebiscite, elections of ANY kind (including stuff like Works council or "Sozial wahl"), * Referendum and even such silly things as Class representatives and Student Representatives. They are all falling under this law.

Without anonymity comes surveillance and censorship.

For real civil identities, definitely.

For alts I can create in a whim, not so much.

And before you tell that spammers would create alts too, you can imagine some age or karma (because it exist, even if hidden) before being able to downvote.
