    What barrier? There is no barrier. You see the number and you make a snap judgment. If someone wants to obsessively check my vote count they’re free to waste their time. If they stalk me I block them. I don’t see what this is solving .

      This is about seeing what posts you voted on. Like if you upvote a post that someone disagrees with for whatever reason or you downvote someone’s post they could see that and go after you for it. Regardless of why you did it.

        People already do this based on people’s comments.

        Shitty people are going to try and find ways to get under your skin all the time. None of these things we’re talking about solve that. What I am talking about is fostering a less toxic culture in the aggregate. Individuals will do what they do.

              The post is about giving everyone the ability to see how everyone else votes on individual posts/comments. For instance if you downvoted this I would be able to look it up somehow and see it was you as opposed to it being anonymous. I don’t care if I get downvoted but there’s a lot of wackjobs on the internet who might use that as a reason to harass someone.
