As I understand it, because we’re using a federated system the only way to keep track of votes at all is if one instance tells another “such and such a user up voted this post”. Whether or not a user interface surfaces that information so mods or admins see it is a separate question, but the data is there, so a safe assumption that whatever you vote on will be accessible to others.
That might be a setting specific to that instance. With other kbin instances it is possible to see reduces (or at least you have been able to do so in the past).
Maybe there’s been a recent update to all kbin instances so that the reduces tab is no longer clickable?
I’m fairly certain that I checked it out on Kbin.Social about a month or two back and it still worked then, but Kbin.Social is currently down for maintenance, so I’m not sure.

Kbin/Mbin shows that info. Well, it hides downvotes, but not upvotes.
It doesn’t hide downvotes… It just calls them “Reduces”
It does. That tab is not clickable.

It hasn’t been possible for quite a while.
I’m not aware of a single one that currently allows it. Do you know of one?

How long ago is “quite a while”?
6 months ago it definitely was disabled on kbin.social and has been since.
The tab is there, but hasn’t worked for several mbin releases. Mbin also disabled it several releases ago.
Ah, thanks, I probably just checked the “favorites” recently and assumed the “reduces” were still visible, that or my sense of time is way off.
