Some people just downvote for the sake of it.

I think its castopod.

I know, but most people don’t.

Every thread will get downvoted by someone for some reason. You would go insane trying to make sense of it.

I know, but some people assume votes are private.

Asumming you meant “do”, go to friendica (friendica.world) and paste the fedilink (press the rainbow button) into the searchbar.

Its webui is responsive (i think), its compatible with the mastodon api.

You can already do it with a database query iirc.

What if a uuid is generated every time a user signs up, and every upvote iterates through the uuids?

I was thinking that it would make sense to federate upvotes, but with the hash of your username instead of your actual handle. Would this work?

I said in the post

(i know, its not really decentralised

Yes, some do, but I was referring to a website.

Because then interoperable services could be made.

Oh, well my point still stands, just not that instance.

Well, its a centralised app to a supposedly decentralised network. The underlying network isn’t decentralised by design. If you were to treat every bluesky pds as an instance, it would be very similar.

Also, you can take inspiration from something without copying it exactly.

I meant one like bluesky, it has a default instance, but you can login with another.

Well, one that can handle the load. Lemmy.world is struggling as is.

I know, but why are they so big.

Yeah, bluesky and mastodon both use oauth.You can also give your username and password to a bluesky app, and until recently, a mastodon one.

ugh its back
