As a regular user who doesnt like social media, this is something that all regular users should be aware of. You can easily get your info taken and processed in a way that becomes consistent with a shadow profile of you made by facebook or other companies in order to track you. There would be no difference in using kbin and using facebook if your info is open to everyone for companies to scrape and parse.

This will likely lead me to stop using kbin and wait for something more private oriented to come up

There’s a very simple way to ensure that your upvote/downvote records aren’t public; simply never upvote or downvote anything. I think it’d be fairly straightforward to add a user option to hide everything related to upvoting and downvoting from a user, giving them a kbin experience completely divested from that sort of thing.

That’s a great way to kill user engagement before it even starts.

They can still comment if they want. Indeed, without vote buttons that now becomes the only way to say “u suk” or “this!”
