Edit: obligatory explanation (thanks mods for squaring me away)…

What you see via the UI isn’t “all that exists”. Unlike Reddit, where everything is a black box, there are a lot more eyeballs who can see “under the hood”. Any instance admin, proper or rogue, gets a ton of information that users won’t normally see. The attached example demonstrates that while users will only see upvote/downvote tallies, admins can see who actually performed those actions.

Edit: To clarify, not just YOUR instance admin gets this info. This is ANY instance admin across the Fediverse.

    How often are we going to see this postage? I think this is the third time I’ve seen it at least

      You’re following up to a post made almost 3 months ago so it’s not surprising you’ve seen similar since.

        what? oh wow, that is so weird. I’m sorry. I was browsing by Top 6 hour, guess there was a glitch.
