current implementation makes identifying the main account trivial (piefed.social/u/zIM40YKd is banned from lemmy.ml), and risks bloating the DBs of remote instances if the option is toggled.

    This also came up in this post on piefed_help - it seems incompatible with Trusted Instances.

    If the concern was that MBIN users could see the main profile of PieFed users when voting, they mostly can do (again), because not much will have been sent directly to an MBIN instance - most of what they see will have been Announced out by a Trusted Instance like lemmy.world.

      Oh… Reading that post then yeah this is useless. Can we just go back to always using the voting agents. I don’t trust any instances.
