I am curious what can be done about the Lemmy.World era of botting corpo comments to protect their investments?
Anything remotely federated w/ LW has a massive hard-on for corporations (anti-piracy boot-lickers only added us back when we had the largest community in the fediverse), racism (you ain’t american, you aint right), a desire to troll/argue in bad faith, and a general “fuck you, I have 500 accounts to down-vote with.”
I myself have over 60 accounts on Lemmy.World; and because of that, I am 100% certain somebody has a type of SMM portal to scan for keywords and upvote/downvote accordingly.
Don’t believe me?
Go post about Apple, Facebook, Tesla, or any other 1% owned entity, and watch which accounts upvote/downvote in less time than required to read the post.
If you have your own instance, you do get that info via federation w/ other servers. Normal users cannot see what I am suggesting, no.
It’s been a big issues with the lemmy devs iirc (because publicity opens up the avenue for doxxing). But this also reveals that the same 50-100 accounts vote w/ their owner.
you dont understand. the kbin/mbin software does not accept downvotes for federation. its just dropped traffic.
I would almost like to see something similar to that then.
It’s a server setting on Lemmy. My instance doesn’t federate downvotes either, no anonymous mass-downvoting over here.
