Having seen the complete absence of mayhem on kbin caused by vote visibility, the absolute and utter nothing that will come of this decision leads me to say yeah, sure. That said, I’d prefer improved mod tools over this, but option c isn’t listed.

Generally speaking, you shouldn't do anything on the internet that you absolutely don't want to become public. If you don't want people to know your votes, don't vote.

There's an easy solution. Dump and create new accounts every week or month or whatever fits your needs. Backup and move your data if you want (lemmy's data import doesn't work well with big data though).

Just like changing your password routinely increases your security, new online identity gives you privacy.

This is a lot of work for something that shouldn't be problem with a voting system in the first place, like there is no point in voting if it's not anonymous. I can see the reason that mods and admins should have to have it but it defeats the purpose of voting in the first place if it's not anonymous, personally speaking if one should be fully open, up votes should be not Anonymous but down votes which are going to be the target of harassment should be anonymized
