Recommend to have the "Upvote" or Favorites list be hidden. (kbin.social)

Currently, each thread has the "Activity" link that shows publicly everyone that upvoted/favorite a thread. This is counter norm to many coming from Reddit and newer folks that expected otherwise. I think hiding the list should be high priority in next feature update(removal?) to encourage frictionless upvoting behavior.

Case in point, NSFW threads are starting on kbin now, cross that with micro blogging that may involve people using real names, this creates unexpected personal preference being exposed.

As a option, Boost feature may still left to public view.

Anonymity is important. Let me know if I misunderstood how this works.

I can totally see someone going to political threads and just making a list of all the people that downvoted/upvoted it to then target later
