How can people find out who’s using alts? I’ve got this quarkboard with red string I’m trying to connect people on based on their tone and their personal bugbears.

It’s public to stop vote manipulation and brigading. When you can see that a ton of up/downvotes on a post all come from 37 alts of the same user, it makes it easier to ban those people.

It’s easy when they’re stupid enough to name them all the same thing.

Its also a liability to allow people, companies and governments to track people across the platforms and target them for the posts they up or down voted. Its a poorly conceived solution.

The same people, companies and governments could do the same with Reddit. At least here, everyone can see the vote counts.
