Alternatively, it's a good exercise in self-control and learning to ignore dumb petty things that don't matter. As I understand, there's something of a technical limitation; here due to the way the Fediverse works, that activity necessarily must be public in order to be federated. While Kbin could choose to simply not display the data, it would still be available if you or anyone else wanted to access it.

I'm still new to all this, but I read that kbin federates who is voting, and Lemmy federates only the total votes.

EDIT: So it looks like it is not true. Testing this is tricky due to overload issues, but upvoting myself from a Lemmy account does show an increase but confusingly lists the account under the 'Favourites' activity.

I don't think that's the case. I just checked a random post on lemmy.world, and I can see the two Lemmy users that upvoted a comment.
