well hn allows voting without email
Can you confirm that is what you prefer?
We have to screen very carefully for fraud from overzealous authors, unfortunately. Email is a nice tool in that.
i understand that it’s easier to get a stronger “trust” signal by being more invasive
but hopefully the product will be so valuable that users will value their accounts as assets (like on hn) that they won’t want to compromise with bad behavior
I'll think on it :)
