If people want to crawl back into Meta’s clutches I’m not going to stop them. Don’t give the one nice thing we have to a corporation that only wants to exploit us.

This is not exactly true.
It’s not that the votes don’t count, it’s that Reddit uses a particular technique where the karma you see is randomly modified every time to make it impossible to see if your vote has an effect.
The goal is to prevent bots from realizing when they have been shadow banned. It makes it easier to control automated vote manipulation since bots will just make a new account if they realize they’re banned.
What privacy? Everything here is it in the open for everyone to see
Think of it as a mailing list. There’s a bunch of people in it getting updates from others. Some use Gmail, others use outlook, others Yahoo, etc.
They have done so already for a few subs where a few of the mods were willing to budge. In others, all mods were removed and the subs were made restricted.
